Removed the compile time from the version output.
Added Git commit's author's datetime in UTC timezone.
Fixes #18508
See https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/timestamps/
See https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/
* Revert "Make compiler build more reproducible"
This reverts commit 2f9359ae89.
Documented how to use compile reproducible builds with the
`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable.
* Corrected `readme.md` formatting

Packaging Nim

=============
|
|
|
|
This page provide hints on distributing Nim using OS packages.
|
|
|
|
See `distros <distros.html>`_ for tools to detect Linux distribution at runtime.
|
|
|
|
See `here <intern.html#bootstrapping-the-compiler-reproducible-builds>`_ for how to
|
|
compile reproducible builds.
|
|
|
|
Supported architectures
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Nim runs on a wide variety of platforms. Support on amd64 and i386 is tested regularly, while less popular platforms are tested by the community.
|
|
|
|
- amd64
|
|
- arm64 (aka aarch64)
|
|
- armel
|
|
- armhf
|
|
- i386
|
|
- m68k
|
|
- mips64el
|
|
- mipsel
|
|
- powerpc
|
|
- ppc64
|
|
- ppc64el (aka ppc64le)
|
|
- riscv64
|
|
|
|
The following platforms are seldomly tested:
|
|
|
|
- alpha
|
|
- hppa
|
|
- ia64
|
|
- mips
|
|
- s390x
|
|
- sparc64
|
|
|
|
Packaging for Linux
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
See https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/labels/Installation for installation-related bugs.
|
|
|
|
Build Nim from the released tarball at https://nim-lang.org/install_unix.html
|
|
It is different from the GitHub sources as it contains Nimble, C sources & other tools.
|
|
|
|
The Debian package ships bash and ksh completion and manpages that can be reused.
|
|
|
|
Hints on the build process:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: cmd
|
|
|
|
# build from C sources and then using koch
|
|
make -j # supports parallel build
|
|
# alternatively: ./build.sh --os $os_type --cpu $cpu_arch
|
|
./bin/nim c -d:release koch
|
|
./koch boot -d:release
|
|
|
|
# optionally generate docs into doc/html
|
|
./koch docs
|
|
|
|
./koch tools
|
|
|
|
# extract files to be really installed
|
|
./install.sh <tempdir>
|
|
|
|
# also include the tools
|
|
for fn in nimble nimsuggest nimgrep; do cp ./bin/$fn <tempdir>/nim/bin/; done
|
|
|
|
What to install:
|
|
|
|
- The expected stdlib location is /usr/lib/nim
|
|
- Global configuration files under /etc/nim
|
|
- Optionally: manpages, documentation, shell completion
|
|
- When installing documentation, .idx files are not required
|
|
- The "compiler" directory contains compiler sources and should not be part of the compiler binary package
