SkullQML

QML binding for the NimSkull programming language

A direct port/copy of nimqml modified to work with nimskull

Initial copy directly from my soft-fork

Original library by filcuc and other contributors

Modifications to run with nimskull by starsider

Requirements

DOtherside 0.9.X
Nim Skull

Build instructions

Compile and Install DOtherside in your system PATH (i.e. /usr/lib)
git clone https://github.com/shayanhabibi/nimqml

Building DOtherSide - Windows 64bit - MinGW

First, ensure that the Qt version binaries are included in path.

cd /cloned/Dotherside
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
cmake --build .

WARNING: the built dll is prefixed with lib which is not what nimqml tries to load; nimqml tries to load "DOtherSide.dll" so you will need to remove the lib prefix.

Frequent issues:

Too many sections/object too large

Anything along those lines requires extra flags passed to the compiler. Try this instead:

cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Wa,-mbig-obj" ..

Mutex does not have a type

If getting an error like this in the build process, it is likely the gcc was not built with posix_threading (and instead win32 threading which will not work).

Try the following to check this:

gcc -v

expected:

PS C:\Users\PC> gcc -v

Thread model: posix

Nimskull toolchain or whatever other toolchain you are using might be windows thread model.

Qt toolchain in my case had posix thread model included so I just use their gcc for this purpose.

Update: Seems like its best to just use the QT gcc from the get go.
