Cross-compile windows version from nim on arch | linux

The most troublesome thing was to put mingw .....

arch so yay

It's good to put it in yay, but I'm a student or you who asks questions every time and thinks it's troublesome if there are many packages. There was an option at last. answer Put none in the Nanchara series. Could you make this the default?

mingw.sh

yay --answerdiff none --answerclean none --answeredit none mingw-w64-binutils-bin
yay --answerdiff none --answerclean none --answeredit none mingw-w64-crt-bin
yay --answerdiff none --answerclean none --answeredit none mingw-w64-gcc-bin
yay --answerdiff none --answerclean none --answeredit none mingw-w64-headers-bin
yay --answerdiff none --answerclean none --answeredit none mingw-w64-winpthreads-bin

*.nim.cfg

The cross-compilation itself with nim is the nth brew, so you can write it almost exactly as it is.

Nim cross-compilation method -Qiita Nim cross-compilation method \ (Linux -> Windows version ) -Qiita

In archlinux, there is enough description in /etc/nim.cfg, so you only need to write the difference.

Since some GNU-linker options do not work with mingw-linker, it is necessary to crush the contents of the original option.

sh:*.nim.cfg

amd64.windows.gcc.path = "/usr/bin/"
amd64.windows.gcc.exe = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
amd64.windows.gcc.linkerexe = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
#amd64.windows.gcc.options.linker = ""
gcc.options.linker = ""

nim c --os:windows *.nim

After that, if you enter --os: windows, the output file name will also be * .exe. I haven't tried it on windows, but it worked on: P wine, so it's probably fine.

For example, if you build a certain script with os: windows, it will be like this

$ nim c --os:windows modini.nim
