Building

Setup

• Requires OpenGL 4.1 for the GUI version
• Install Rust and cargo (required for wasmtime)
• Install Nim version 2.2.6
• Clone the repository

Compile errors

If you get a compile error, try building with --passC:-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types, e.g: nimble buildDesktop --passC:-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types -d:appBuildWasmtime --forceBuild --app:gui -D:forceLogToFile -D:enableGui=true

Desktop version

Using atlas

• Run atlas install after cloning or pulling updates.
• Delete nimble.paths in case it exists (gets generated by nimble setup)
• Use nimble buildDesktop or nimble build to compile the desktop version of the editor.
• Use nimble buildTerminal to compile a terminal only version of the editor.
• The release builds are built with:
  • For the gui version: nimble buildDesktop --app:gui -D:forceLogToFile -D:enableGui=true -D:enableTerminal=false
  • For the terminal version: nimble buildDesktop --app:console -D:forceLogToFile -D:enableGui=false -D:enableTerminal=true

Compiling tree sitter grammars to wasm

• Go into the tree-sitter repositories root directory
• Make sure the cli is built
  • cargo build
• Compile the desired language to wasm. The specified directory is the one containing the src folder which in turn contains the grammar.js
  • target/release/tree-sitter build-wasm ../dev/nimtreesitter/treesitter_nim/treesitter_nim/nim

Compiling plugins to wasm

Use this command to build a plugin (inside the plugins directory):

nim c -d:release --skipParentCfg --passL:\"-o plugin_name.m.wasm\" plugin_name.nim
