Source download from Nim releases doesn't have build_all.sh #21243

Closed elcritch closed 1 year ago

elcritch commented 1 year ago

Description

It's not clear how to do a full install the latest release from the release tarball. The build.sh script only builds nim and nim-gdb but not the support tools like nimsuggest, nimble, or testament.

This complicates installing Nim on platforms without choosenim support like Linux/ARM64 (or Mac/ARM64 pending PR's). This probably affects other platforms as well.

Nim Version

1.6.10

Current Output

Expected Output

Provide a `build_all.sh` script or similar in release tarballs.

Is the 2.0 line affected?

elcritch commented 1 year ago

I haven't tested 2.0 on my projects yet, but tonight I can take a look and see.

elcritch commented 1 year ago

Yes, the latest nightly for 2.0 also has the same issue.
