How to multiple paths with header dependency

[nixfreak]

Hello,

I am trying to create wrappers for efl libaries starting with Elementary https://git.enlightenment.org/enlightenment/efl/src/branch/master/src/lib/elementary

The only problem I am having is that when I want to wrap Elementary.h there is multiple dependencies in other directories

Here is my code: `import futhark importc: sysPath "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.1.1/include" path "/usr/include/elementary-1/Elementary.h" path "/usr/include/eina-1/Efl_Config.h"

static: writeFile("enim.c", """

define ELEMENTARY_IMPLEMENTATION

include "/usr/include/elementary-1/Elementary.h"

include "/usr/include/eina-1/Efl_Config.h"

""")

{.compile: "enim.c".} `

Here is my error:

nim c -d:Debug --passL: "$(pkg-config --cflags --libs elementary)" enim.nim Hint: used config file '/home/nixfreak/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-#devel/config/nim.cfg' [Conf] Hint: used config file '/home/nixfreak/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-#devel/config/config.nims' [Conf] ................................................................................................................ /home/nixfreak/.nimble/pkgs/futhark-0.6.1/futhark.nim(521, 12) Hint: Running: opir -I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.1.1/include -I/usr/include/elementary-1/Elementary.h -I/usr/include/eina-1/Efl_Config.h /home/nixfreak/.cache/nim/enim_d/futhark-includes.h [User] /home/nixfreak/.nimble/pkgs/futhark-0.6.1/futhark.nim(528, 8) Hint: Parsing Opir output [User] /home/nixfreak/.nimble/pkgs/futhark-0.6.1/futhark.nim(539, 10) Hint: Caching Opir output in /home/nixfreak/.cache/nim/enim_d/opir_CF17E89EA8CA239C.json [User] /home/nixfreak/.nimble/pkgs/futhark-0.6.1/futhark.nim(542, 8) Hint: Generating Futhark output [User] /home/nixfreak/.nimble/pkgs/futhark-0.6.1/futhark.nim(689, 8) Hint: Caching Futhark output in /home/nixfreak/.cache/nim/enim_d/futhark_F54D6D299808F288.nim [User] /home/nixfreak/.nimble/pkgs/futhark-0.6.1/futhark.nim(647, 10) Warning: imported and not used: 'macros' [UnusedImport] CC: enim In file included from /home/nixfreak/build/enim.c:2: /usr/include/elementary-1/Elementary.h:59:10: fatal error: Efl_Config.h: No such file or directory 59 | #include "Efl_Config.h" | ^~~~~~ compilation terminated.

The example in the README is for libraries that have to be compiled into your project. You appear to link existing objects to your binary so the entire static section can be removed. Also if you pass path to folders instead of files it will load any required files from that folder. Try something like this instead:

import futhark
importc:
  sysPath "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.1.1/include"
  path "/usr/include/elementary-1/"
  path "/usr/include/eina-1/"
  "Elementary.h"
  "Efl_Config.h"

With a build command like the one you used.

Ok after adding all the dependencies are received this error now:

Is this a memory issue?

Here is my code:

import futhark importc: sysPath "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.1.1/include/" path "/usr/include/elementary-1/" path "/usr/include/eina-1/" path "/usr/include/eina-1/eina/" path "/usr/include/eet-1/" path "/usr/include/evas-1/" path "/usr/include/ecore-1/" path "/usr/include/ecore-file-1/" path "/usr/include/ecore-input-1/" path "/usr/include/ecore-imf-1/" path "/usr/include/ecore-con-1/" path "/usr/include/ecore-evas-1/" path "/usr/include/edje-1/" path "/usr/include/eldbus-1/" path "/usr/include/efreet-1/" path "/usr/include/ethumb-1/" path "/usr/include/ethumb-client-1/" path "/usr/include/emile-1/" path "/usr/include/eo-1/" path "/usr/include/efl-1/" path "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.1.1/include-fixed/" "limits.h" "Elementary.h" "Elementary_Options.h" "Efl_Config.h" "limits.h" "eina_types.h" "Eet.h" "Evas.h" "Ecore.h" "Evas_GL.h" "Ecore_Evas.h" "Ecore_File.h" "Ecore_Input.h" "Ecore_IMF.h" "Ecore_Con.h" "Edje.h" "Eldbus.h" "Efreet.h" "Efreet_Mime.h" "Efreet_Trash.h" "Emile.h" "Eo.h" "Efl.h" "Ethumb_Client.h"

Nah, it's just the Nim compiler not allowing the parser to parse such a large JSON object, it believes it has reached an infinite loop. Just increase the max iteration loop count with --maxLoopIterationsVM:

Ok that worked I now have a 123K executable file. Thank you now on to calling those functions and see if I can do something with them.

Ok so I should be able to call this binary from nim , do you have documentation for that ? Also is there a way to actually see the functions ? Right now I'm running Futhark again and tee out a log.

[PMunch]

Call which binary from Nim? You import functions that you should then just call like normal Nim functions. You can see the functions in the generated Futhark cache file, or by nim doc on your module.
