Hi

Fresh install of Nim and nimx on a Win 10 Pro 64 bit workstation.

nimx installed via $nimble install. There were some warnings during installation.

Compiling the Readme example with the Readme flags failed with the error:

PS D:\Google Drive\Nim\code\sandbox> nim c -r --threads:on gui.nim

(bad format; library may be wrong architecture)

It's either your nim is in 32bit mode, and SDL2.dll is 64bit or the other way around. Make sure architectures match.

My bad - I was distracted by the Defender security warning during download and hit the wrong button, it seems.

Sorry for the false report.
