"koch web" fails in HEAD

The error was actually my fault because a previous version of nim was used due to the wrong PATH order. After putting "./bin" first I get another error from 'PATH="./bin:$PATH" ./koch web':

nim doc2 --hint[Conf]:off --hint[Path]:off --hint[Processing]:off --putenv:nimversion=0.10.3 --docSeeSrcUrl:https://github.com/Araq/Nim/tree/master/lib/impure -o:web/upload/graphics.html --index:on lib/impure/graphics.nim

OS? Used C compiler? CPU?

[stefantalpalaru]

Linux amd 3.18.1-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 18 17:45:09 CET 2014 x86_64 AMD FX-8320E Eight-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

gcc-4.8.4

[Araq]

Works for me on Linux 64, gcc-4.8.2.

Works here as well. @stefantalpalaru could you provide some more information? To get a stracktrace, boot the compiler without the -d:release flag.

Is this related? I tried to create the docs on my system (osx) with ./koch web and got a similar error.

Short version:

# in nim repo root
nim doc2 lib/system.nim

...
...

system.nim(1117, 15) Error: undeclared identifier: 'useSysAssert'

To create a stacktrace, rerun compilation with ./koch temp c <file>

I also have an earlier problem with includes not working well. Line 23 in system.nim does:

## .. include:: ../doc/exception_hierarchy_fragment.txt

But that fails when I ./koch web. First failure is when it descent into lib/wrapper/mysql .. copying /doc/exeption... there works :) .. but not the right thing to do!

I then included the exception_hierarchy_fragment.txt manual into system.nim and installed the compiler new. It loads the libs for creating the docs from the installed version when runnig ./koch web what I think is a bit odd to do?

Anyway after this I run into the above problem with system.nim failing to doc2 itself.

Originally I wanted to call nim doc2 somefile.nim on a file to look for effects annotations as described in the docs.

This failed with:

lib/nim/system.nim(24, 3) Error: cannot open '../doc/exception_hierarchy_fragment.txt'
Error: unhandled exception: lib/nim/system.nim(24, 3) Error: cannot open '../doc/exception_hierarchy_fragment.txt' [ERecoverableError]

and lead to this odyssey...

[stefantalpalaru]

It now works with gcc-4.9.2.

I get a similar error when doing './koch web'. Using nim-0.11.2 release on OSX Mavericks.

koch web now works on Mac OS X.
