nimterop/globals.nim(8, 18) Error: cannot open file: compiler/ast

[HJarausch]

Hi,
I have just cloned the repository. nimble build -d:danger fails with

Error: cannot open file: compiler/ast

Error: Build failed for package: nimterop
... Execution failed with exit code 1
... Command: /usr/bin/nim c --colors:on --noNimblePath -d:danger -d:NimblePkgVersion=0.6.13

--path:/home/jarausch/.nimble/pkgs/regex-0.19.0 --path:/home/jarausch/.nimble/pkgs/unicodedb-0.9.0

--path:/home/jarausch/.nimble/pkgs/cligen-1.3.2 --hints:off -o:/home/jarausch/Nim_My/nimterop/nimterop/toast

/home/jarausch/Nim_My/nimterop/nimterop/toast.nim

What am I missing?
Thanks,
Helmut

How have you installed Nim? You need the $nim/compiler directory without which nimterop won't build.

I had the same problem because I installed Nim with apt on Ubuntu 20.04. The installed version of Nim was 1.0. When I installed the latest version (1.4.8), the build worked.
