Provide hints when nim.cfg is not found #11370

Open FedericoCeratto opened 5 years ago

FedericoCeratto commented 5 years ago

When nim.cfg is not found (e.g. it's still /etc/nim.cfg) the compiler fails to find the stdlib:

nim c -r mytest.nim
Hint: system [Processing]
Hint: mytest [Processing]
mytest.nim(1, 8) Error: cannot open file: tables

A hint or warning would be nice:

Hint: no config files found. It is recommended to create '/etc/nim/nim.cfg'

Now you got a warning

D:\QQPCmgr\Desktop\Nim>nim c -r ttest.nim
Hint: used config file 'C:\Users\blue\.choosenim\toolchains\nim-#devel\config\config.nims' [Conf]
Hint: used config file 'D:\QQPCmgr\Desktop\Nim\ttest.nim.cfg' [Conf]

Now you got a waring

what does nim c -r -f ttest.nim give?

(asking because the warning may depend on whether -f is passed)
