Compilation fails on osx

[rncar]

OSX Yosemite 10.10.5
Nim Compiler Version 0.16.1 (2017-04-02) [MacOSX: amd64]

Second time I compile a Nim program,
maybe I am doing something stupid.
Really cool project.

same error on linux.

You actually need to use this fork https://github.com/ftsf/sdl2 of the SDL package. It should then work out of the box on Linux. There are a few things you'll need to comment and modify for the OSX build, since it is currently setup for cross compilation on @ftsf 's linux box. I will try to attach the needed modifications later.

Great, thanks.

Now trying to install sndfile package, the ftsf/nim-sndfile wrapper seems
to be not compatible with nimble.

I am struggling with a build on Windows. Can you please provide exact dependencies?

[geneotech]

@konradbartecki I second this. This program looks so much fun.

Before I go into a time hole, wonder if anyone has gotten this to work on any modern system recently. It looks really cool, but not so cool I'm going to go reconstruct a development environment from years ago to get it to work :-/

It compiles (and runs) as of yesterday on Windows and Linux (according to reports). I don't have a Mac build environment to test on Mac.
