nwn_script_comp: Issues building on Windows 10 and not picking up $NWN_ROOT and $NWN_HOME environment variables on WSL2

[zeroark]

It is most likely related to my specific setup, not the code itself, so I'm sorry if it is unrelated.

Environment

• Windows 10 Professional
• Nim 2.0.4 (Installed using Chocolatey)
• Ubuntu 18.04.6 (WSL2)

Steps to Reproduce

• Clone repo, checkout master branch.
• Build the project using nimble build -d:release

Expected Result

All the neverwinter.nim binaries should build successfully

Actual Result

All binaries build correctly, except nwn_script_comp. See the attached logs:

Notes

• I made a second attempt adding the nimble install -y --depsOnly and nimble setup just as in the Github Actions. No success.
• For testing purposes, I attempted to build this from WSL2 and it works without issues. This solution works but, for whatever reason, it's not picking the NWN_HOME and NWN_ROOT environment variables I manually set after building so I have to always manually use --root and --userDirectory

I haven't tried using prebuilt binaries yet (Probably will be most likely solution) but just wanted to know if anybody stumbled upon any of the above issues, or if it's just me.

Once again, I appreciate any help on any of the above issues. Thanks!

[tinygiant98]

For the nsc compilation issue, have you tried adding the -d:mingw flag to you nim c command?

[zeroark]

Hello @tinygiant98, I ran nimble build -d:mingw in the console and it seems it worked this time. The only issue I found was it that took much longer than usual, but apart from that everything worked just fine.

Tested compiling a simple script, but the Environment Variables issue persists as follows:

Everything works just fine If i use the --root flag, but if not it will always drop the same error even if the Environment Variable is present.
