Did you init and pull the submodules?

markprocess commented 6 years ago

No I did not. After doing that I can now compile and run an instance.

Please add to the readme development section

git submodule init
git submodule update

Thanks!

ghost commented 6 years ago

@dom96 you can put git clone --recursive https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum in the README because it pulls all submodules automatically

dom96 commented 6 years ago

Please add to the readme development section

I will do that eventually, but if you want to help out you can edit the file in your browser and create a PR:

https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum/edit/master/README.md

markprocess commented 6 years ago

I will submit a PR but I want to get a little more experience with the work flow first.

(from #165) Please update Development section to the effect:

Development typically starts with choosenim devel and also nimble devdb.

Without a db instance, nimble backend produces
