[nim] error with `import confy`. Likely because caused by `confy/nimble`

[griffith1deady]

i have that code in my src/build.nim

import confy

let srcHello = srcDir/"library.nim"
var hello = Program.new(
  src   = srcHello,
  trg   = "hello-nim-x64",
  ) # Doesn't build. Stores the configuration for calling .build() later

when not defined(CrossCompile):
  hello.syst = confy.getHost()         # This is the default value set when not specified. Explicit just for clarity of the example.
  hello.build( run=true, force=true )  # Order to build. Defaults when omitted: (run=false, force=false)

  lnx.trg  = hello.trg&"-x64"                      # Give it a unique name (just for clarity)
  lnx.syst = System(os: OS.Linux, cpu: CPU.x86_64) # Change the target to build for Linux and x86_64
  lnx.build()                                      # Order to build, but not run and not forcebuild

  win.build()                                        # Order to build, but not run and not forcebuild

  macarm.build()   

my project structure look's like:

my .nimble file:

from confy/nimble as run import nil

# Package

packageName   = "nanogl3ify"
version       = "0.0.1"
author        = "griffith1deady <sadness1rip@gmail.com>"
description   = "Java NanoVG binding for LWJGL2"
license       = "WTFPL"
srcDir = "src"
bin           = @["library.exe"]

# Dependencies

requires("nim >= 1.6.4")
requires("nanovg >= 0.3.4")
requires("jnim >= 0.5.2")

task confy, ".....": run.confy()

error what i get:

PS C:\Project's\Binding\nanogl3ify>

if my build.nim contains any code not related to import confy, compilation succesfully.

@griffith1deady finally taking a look a this. sorry for the delay

exception: FAILED: nim c -d:release -d:ssl --skipParentCfg --outDir:.\bin .\src/build.nim [OSError]

Notice how confy is creating the paths as .\ .. / instead of using backlashes for everything Although I'm not completely sure yet, this is likely to be causing the issues, since the error is saying that gcc doesn't understand the build command.

I'm going to be doing a deep refactor of the library from https://github.com/heysokam/confy/pull/5 and will take a look at this during the process.

Will ping you here once that is complete, so we can try again to see if the problem is resolved.

[heysokam]

I managed to get confy to run correctly on windows with the refactor at #5

I will merge it soon, and we can start debugging your project setup from there.

[heysokam]

@griffith1deady Version v0.2.0 is up and running Please try again using the hello.nim example project as your template. I think the problem should be fixed, but let me know if something else comes up.

[heysokam]

Closing, as the problem should theoretically be fixed. Please write here and/or reopen this issue if your problem persists after the v0.2.0 refactor.
