It's been a while so thought I would check in to see how wiish is doing. tried to install from master. Ubuntu 18.04 amd64

Got:

Thanks for checking in! Wiish is currently undergoing some heavy renovation :) If you want you can take a look at the web-dev and build-plugins branches, but I expect those won't install either right now. I'm hoping to get the current work merged into master with all builds passing in the next few weeks.

This error in particular is happening because of a breaking change in a new version of argparse: https://github.com/iffy/nim-argparse/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v100---2020-11-26

I opened a PR to pin the argparse version for the short term until the overhaul is complete: https://github.com/iffy/wiish/pull/73. Also relevant - if you're getting an error with the pcre64.dll, you can check out this guy: https://github.com/nim-lang/nightlies/issues/10

After downloading the pcre64, rebuilding, and using the pinned version of argparse, I was able to get a test project running on windows 10:

Give me Linux or give me death. Thanks though I'll try some more based on replies.

I made changes in the latest master branch so that it doesn't require pcre anymore. But maybe I missed some spots -- so let me know if you're still getting errors related to that.

I think this is fixed, so I'm closing. Please reopen if that's not the case.
