stdint file not found when trying to build with STATIC_LLVM=1

[astrolemonade]

Hey! I'm trying to build nlvm statically because I want to delete the big LLVM directory. The commit I am trying to build is: https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm/commit/99fe81717c21ac07104d60938a7d57154220df3a I managed to build nlvm by simply doing the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm
cd nlvm
git submodule update --init --recursive
make

I tried similar steps for the static one:

git clone https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm
cd nlvm
git submodule update --init --recursive
make STATIC_LLVM=1

and after some time I receive the following:

[~/ProgrammingLanguages/nlvm-static] $ make STATIC_LLVM=1
cd nlvm && time ../Nim/bin/nim --debuginfo --linedir:on -d:staticLLVM --dynliboverrideall c nlvm

I tried to modify the stdint reference in that file to point to stdint.h but there are many other include problems: limits, type_traits etc.

Can you help me debug the problem?

Note 1: Sometimes the cstdint not found error is thrown instead of the stdint one. This happens if I follow the steps from the CI.

[arnetheduck]

were you able to figure this out? we discussed that it looked like a package problem on your setup (ie missing c++ library or something like this)..

[astrolemonade]

I am not missing any library. I just gave up on the idea of building nlvm from source and also statically.
