# Nimrod Compiler
|
|
This repo contains the Nimrod compiler, Nimrod's stdlib, tools and
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
## Compiling
|
|
Compiling the Nimrod compiler is quite straightforward. Because
|
|
the Nimrod compiler itself is written in the Nimrod programming language
|
|
the C source of an older version of the compiler are needed to bootstrap the
|
|
latest version. The C sources are however included with this repository under
|
|
the build directory.
|
|
|
|
Pre-compiled snapshots of the compiler are also available on
|
|
[Nimbuild](http://build.nimrod-code.org/). Your platform however may not
|
|
currently be built for.
|
|
|
|
The compiler currently supports the following platform and architecture
|
|
combinations:
|
|
|
|
* Windows (Windows XP or greater) - x86 and x86_64
|
|
* Linux (most, if not all, distributions) - x86, x86_64, ppc64 and armv6l
|
|
* Mac OS X 10.04 or higher - x86, x86_64 and ppc64
|
|
|
|
In reality a lot more are supported, however they are not tested regularly.
|
|
|
|
To build from source you will need:
|
|
|
|
* gcc 3.x or later recommended. Other alternatives which may work
|
|
are: clang, Visual C++, Intel's C++ compiler
|
|
* unzip
|
|
* git or wget
|
|
|
|
If you are on a fairly modern *nix system, the following steps should work:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/Araq/Nimrod.git
|
|
$ cd Nimrod
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ unzip csources.zip
|
|
$ cd ..
|
|
$ ./build.sh
|
|
$ bin/nimrod c koch
|
|
$ ./koch boot -d:release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``koch install [dir]`` may then be used to install Nimrod, or you
|
|
can simply add it to your PATH.
|
|
|
|
The above steps can be performed on Windows in a similar fashion, the
|
|
``build.bat`` and ``build64.bat`` (for x86_64 systems) are provided to be used
|
|
instead of ``build.sh``.
|
|
|
|
## Getting help
|
|
A [forum](http://forum.nimrod-code.org/) is available if you have any questions,
|
|
and you can also get help in the IRC channel
|
|
on [Freenode](irc://irc.freenode.net/nimrod) in #nimrod.

|
|
The compiler and the standard library is licensed under the MIT license,
|
|
except for some modules where the documentation suggests otherwise. This means
|
|
that you can use any license for your own programs developed with Nimrod,
