This document explains how to *use* the Nimrod compiler.
|
|
Open your favourite text editor and type (or download it
|
|
`here <download/code/hallo.nim>`_):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: nimrod
|
|
:file: ../tests/hallo.nim
|
|
|
|
Save this file as ``hallo.nim`` somewhere (I refer to the location as
|
|
``$yourloc``). Now open a console and call the Nimrod compiler::
|
|
|
|
nimrod compile --run $yourloc/hallo
|
|
|
|
The ``--run`` switch tells Nimrod that it should run the generated
|
|
executable after successful compilation. If things don't work,
|
|
check if Nimrod's ``bin`` directory is in your path environment
|
|
variable. On Windows the directory ``dist\llvm-gcc4.2\bin`` may
|
|
also be required in your path.
|
|
|
|
Note that Nimrod produced a standalone native executable in
|
|
``$yourloc`` that you can run without the Nimrod compiler.
