Missing DLL about neverwinter.nim HOT 8 CLOSED

You can grab this DLL here: https://nim-lang.org/download/dlls.zip

from neverwinter.nim.

That seems to fix the issue.

from neverwinter.nim.

For the record, new download should include all the needed dlls on Windows.

from neverwinter.nim.

Unfortunately, the problem still is present. The solution according to the link is higher too unclear -- where to place the downloaded dll?

I use Windows 10 x64 and try setup NWN dev environment as described in https://github.com/jakkn/nwn-devbase. I install

1. Ruby: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/releases/download/rubyinstaller-2.5.3-1/rubyinstaller-2.5.3-1-x64.exe
2. Nim (strange, but for windows only x86 prebuilt): https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/releases/download/v0.3.2/choosenim-0.3.2_windows_i386.exe
3. Install this package

   nimble install neverwinter
   

4. Install nwn-devbase

   git clone https://github.com/jakkn/nwn-devbase.git
   cd nwn-devbase
   gem install bundler
   bundle install

5. Download NWN Script Compiler: https://neverwintervault.org/sites/neverwintervault.org/files/project/29016/files/nwnsc-windows-1.0.0.zip
6. Create my NWN module devel folder:

   mkdir module && cd module
   git init
   ..\..\nwn-devbase\build.rb init
   cp path-to-my/module.mod server/modules/

7. Try to extract my .mod and get this error:

Can @niv or @jakkn tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this?

from neverwinter.nim.

Ok, I finded place to where put downloaded dlls:

D:\Projects\NWN\modules\module>where nim
C:\Users\Mingun\.nimble\bin\nim.exe

and place it to C:\Users\Mingun\.nimble\bin and after that everything work. However I want to find the correct way of fix error

from neverwinter.nim.

I'll chime in here since I was mentioned and I have time to help out, @Mingun, but I have to say that this report is very confusing and I feel a need to start by saying why.

First, you are currently commenting on a closed issue about missing DLLs in the neverwinter.nim project whereas you're probably better off starting a new one. Second, the context is expanded to include nwn-devbase, which, although a consumer of neverwinter.nim, is a different project and not related to the topic. Third, by including all the instructions from the devbase readme, which has really nothing to do with the error, it's even harder to get a clear picture.

Now, from what I understand you are looking for the correct way to install the neverwinter.nim binaries on your Windows system - is that correct? If yes, then this is already documented in the README.

Binary releases are available on the Github Releases page of this project. You do not need to install anything else.

So grab the latest release and put the binaries on your PATH environment variable. If you wish to build the binaries from sources you'll have to follow the documentation and put the contents of the /bin folder on your PATH environment variable.

I hope that clears things up.

First, you are currently commenting on a closed issue about missing DLLs in the neverwinter.nim project whereas you're probably better off starting a new one.

In the presence of an opportunity I always try to reopen old problems, than to get new, especially if old were not resolved in any specific way. In this case the task is simply closed without explanation that was changed that suggests me an idea that the author just could not reproduce it in their environment. In this case it seemed to me that the problem is not solved and there is a sense to open it and to continue work on its solution. Just GitHub does not give me of technical capability to reopen issue, otherwise I would make it.

Second, the context is expanded to include nwn-devbase, which, although a consumer of neverwinter.nim, is a different project and not related to the topic.

The context is expanded for a demonstration of process in which the problem is reproduced. As I already wrote above, it seems, that the author just could not reproduce it and thought that the problem is solved. I show that it not so

Third, by including all the instructions from the devbase readme, which has really nothing to do with the error, it's even harder to get a clear picture.

As I already stated above, these are full instructions for reproduction of an error. Perhaps, some of them excessive, but it is difficult to me to define it as neither Ruby, nor Nim are my main tools and are necessary to me only so far as they are required for nwn-devbase

Now, from what I understand you are looking for the correct way to install the neverwinter.nim binaries on your Windows system - is that correct?

Yes, everything is correct

If yes, then this is already documented in the README.

Hm. On me, this line does not look binding. More likely, as ONE of options:

-- Hey, I do not want to potter with any installers, do you have just binaries?
-- Yes, they here

And further there is the second option:

-- And if I want to make everything correctly?
-- Well, then here so

If it not that it is expected, it definitely it is worth reformulating

I hope that clears things up.

Many thanks, @jakkn. Yes, all this places on the places.

@niv, thus, perhaps there is only a problem with insufficiently accurate documentation

from neverwinter.nim.

I will a little explain why installation of binary files seems hackish made especially for those who do not want to penetrate deeply. In the description of the nwn-devbase installation it is told that at first it is necessary to install choosenim, and then newerwinter.nim. If newerwinter.nim is delivered in binary files (i.e. it is supposed that this completely packed application without third-party dependences), then why Nim is required? Therefore, if it is required, installation of binary files is hack bypassing the package manager of Nim and it should be avoided
