Building

Setup

• Requires OpenGL 4.1 for the GUI version
• Install Rust and cargo (required for wasmtime)
• Install Nim version 2.2.0
• Clone the repository
• Run nimble setup

The AST language framework does not compile on the current main branch, I will continue work on this at some later point.

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

• Use nimble buildDesktop or nimble build to compile the desktop 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 Nim config files to wasm

• You need to have Emscripten installed.
• Run nimble buildNimConfigWasm from the root folder of the repository
