Choosenim doesn't install Nim standard library #3

Closed Pebaz closed 3 years ago

Pebaz commented 3 years ago

I grepped my hard disk looking for system.nim needed by Nimporter for any compilation, and none was found.

Unfortunately, without a way to solve this one, choosenim installation is not an option because Nimporter needs to find the standard library for source and binary distributions.

Info: Normally it should be in the lib/system.nim folder next to the bin/ directory holding all the Nim binaries. For some reason, it's not there after I installed choosenim_install.

I think I found the solution. choosenim_install needs to copy/paste the choosenim binary somewhere onto the PATH so that Nimporter can use choosenim to find the standard library.

Perhaps it could install it into Python's Scripts directory on Win32 or bin on *nix.

More info: I believe I found a way to work with all 3 installation methods using Nimporter:

  1. Choosenim
  2. choosenim_install
  3. Manual installation

But still testing. Will post results here.
