Installation issues #10

Not sure why, but I had to manually add nimgen and c2nim to my path after installing them with nimble in order to install nimlibxlsxwriter. Maybe this is a nimble issue? But I thought it could help to have this as a tip in the installation instructions in case anyone else has this problem too. Thanks.

For me I just had to nimble install nimgen first.

I have installed nimgen and i have cloned and sudo make install libxlsxwriter the original project but i still get this error. Is there something i am missing ?

Hi @C-NERD Maybe my fork will work for you: https://github.com/ThomasTJdev/nimlibxlsxwriter

1) Ensure that you have latest version of nimgen: https://github.com/genotrance/nimgen 2) Now use the current master of my fork (uses nimgen). or 1) Use my PR https://github.com/ThomasTJdev/nimlibxlsxwriter/pull/5 which has compiled nim-files. It avoids the use of nimgen.
