So I'm installing Nim on my box at home, but when I try to compile the jester test program, I get this at the end of the compile:
Error: execution of an external program failed; rerun with --parallelBuild:1 to see the error message > Process terminated with exit code 1
When I run Check, it checks out with no problem, and the same program works on the other box.
Running in commandline I get a bit more info (Both machines are Windows 7):
There are a lot of these: error: size of array 'assert_numbits' is negative
This does not happen on the other box.
Googling for the error leads me to believe that you're trying to use a 64bit C compiler with Nim trying 32bit: https://github.com/Araq/Nim/wiki/Unofficial-FAQ#i-get-an-error-trying-to-compile-nim-on-windows
But maybe it's a problem with the installer again?: http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/602
Thanks def!
It was an old stray mingw in the path that caused the whole thing.
I cleaned up the paths, restarted Aporia, and now it compiled just fine.
