nim.cfg syntax for --define:FOO:VAL undocumented or absent #12367

Closed disruptek closed 4 years ago

disruptek commented 5 years ago

I could not figure out how to add the following define syntax to my nim.cfg:

nim c -d:git2SetVer:0.28.3 some.nim

I tried many permutations with and without ", =, :. Maybe I missed the magic incantation? The solution was to use config.nims thusly:

switch("define", "git2SetVer:0.28.3")
# fwiw this seems to be parsed identically
#switch("define", "git2SetVer=0.28.3")

Thanks to @leorize and @shashlick.

True and also patchFile has no equivalent, NimScript is the future of Nim's configuration system and nim.cfg a legacy. Unfortunately I nowadays like the old .cfg better.... :-(
