Unable to install vim3 using nimble

milad2golnia opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

I am completely new to NIM language but I want to install vim3.
when i run nimble run vim3, the output is:


Verifying dependencies for vim3@0.1.0
 Installing paranim@>= 0.3.0
Downloading https://github.com/paranim/paranim using git
  Verifying dependencies for paranim@0.3.0
 Installing nimgl@>= 1.0.0
Downloading https://github.com/nimgl/nimgl using git

and then nothing happens.
what is the problem?
NOTE: I tried git clone https://github.com/nimgl/nimgl and the repository cloned normally.

Yes, I am on Manjaro(which is arch based). I tried sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so /usr/lib/libssl-dev.so but still same problem.
NOTE: below packages aren't available in Manjaro: libtinfo5, libgl1-mesa-dev, xorg-dev.

Sorry, It was typo. I tried sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5 right now and the output is:
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5': File exists
what should I do?

i don't think your issue is libtinfo, that would be a runtime error. you may need to find the arch equivalents to libgl1-mesa-dev (opengl) and xorg-dev (x11). can you try nimble run vim3 --verbose ? maybe that will give a better error

the result of nimble run vim3 --verbose:

I found some equivalents to libgl1-mesa-dev & xorg-dev (Like all mesa headers and all xorg headers) and installed them but to no avail:(
I try to found some other again.

Fortunately when i tried the nimble run vim3 --verbose again and after a while, I got it worked.
I didn't installed any library in this time and I didn't know what happened really.
After all I am so happy that have this program on my system and so I close this issue.
just as an advise it will be great if user be able to set the speed of cube.
thank you very much. your responsibility was great.
