missing file

[mhessler97]

I decided to attempt compilation on windows again now that nim 1.4 is out to see if might work this time and I'm getting a new error. https://pastebin.com/s1NixkZz appapently i am missing a file called nimbase.h. i'm not where that should be coming from as it isn't stated anywhere in the nim-arduino project what that is. any help would be appreciated. thank you

nimbase.h is part of the Nim distro, it lives in lib/nimbase.h. Afaik it has always been there and nothing has changed for v1.4.0.

Can you share the compiler invocation command line that gets logged, I believe it's the lines starting with '>>>'. There should be an include path in there pointing to your Nim base. (Your nim path does not happen to have a space in the file name, does it?)

this is the full error log

I see this include path in the cmdline:

-IC:\Users\matth\scoop\apps\nim\1.2.0\lib 

The C:\Users\matth\scoop\apps\nim\1.2.0 comes from Nims getCurrentCompilerExe(), so I assume your Nim binary is in there. Typically, in the lib subdirectory you should find your nimbase.h. Is it anywhere to be found in that directory or any of its subdirs?

i figured out what it was. the original installation of nim-arduino was pointing to an incorrect nim path that no longer existed so I recompiled the package again and that error is gone. although so far it still seems to be hanging indefinitely but that is a different already known issue.
