Installing nim
conda install nim
We've started with nim-1.0.2, but that can be updated at any time.
For now, we are using a source-distribution rather than the overnight pre-built.
Details
The nim-feedstock now comes from the conda-forge "channel". It seems to work, but it still need improvement.
We are not yet able to "test" nim as part of the nim-feedstock recipe because of how compilers are consumed in conda. Suggestions are appreciated.
Linux
We hard-code the expected name of the compiler in $PREFIX/config/nim.cfg (where nim itself lives at $PREFIX/bin/nim):
gcc.exe = "x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-gcc"
gcc.cpp.exe = "x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-gcc"
gcc.linkerexe = "x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-gcc"
clang.exe = "x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-gcc"
clang.linkerexe = "x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-gcc"
This is problematic, but it works for now.
