How pack std lib to run without Nim installed

[thisago]

When the Nimscript script imports some std lib, it tries to open from Nim, but I need to run the app in a PC that doesn't have the Nim installed, I tried to list the exported procs from a list of libs and call exportTo, but it doesn't work, maybe it's related to #9

Here's what I tried:

import std/macros
import pkg/fusion/matching
from compiler/nimeval import findNimStdLibCompileTime
from std/os import walkDirRec, pcFile, extractFilename
include std/tables

{.experimental: "caseStmtMacros".}
macro listMethods(modules: static openArray[string]): untyped =
  var procs: Table[string, seq[string]]
  var i = 0
  for moduleName in modules:
    for path in walkDirRec(findNimStdLibCompileTime(), {pcFile}):
      if moduleName & ".nim" == extractFilename path:
        procs[moduleName] = newSeq[string]()
        let module = parseStmt(staticRead(path))
        for stmt in module:
          case stmt
            of (kind: in {nnkFuncDef,nnkProcDef..nnkIteratorDef}):#any kind of methody thing
              case stmt
              of [
                PostFix[_, @name],#only exported procs
                _,
                _,
                FormalParams[
                  _, #return type
                  .._], #other params
                .._]: procs[moduleName].add($name)
  result = newLit(procs)

macro addVmStd*(module: untyped): untyped =
  result = newStmtList()
  for (stdModule, procs) in listMethods(modules).pairs:
    for name in procs:
      result.add newCall("exportTo", module, ident name)

but it doesn't work

ok, this is for specify the nim lib path, but I need to run without nim installed

i solved this by reading all std lib at compilation and writing at run time, isn't ideal, but works

It's the stdlib path you dont need nim installed you need a copy of the nim stdlib then you specify the stdpath wherever you placed that.

yea, that it that i've made, but there's a way to bundle everything in the binary (like using exportTo)?

[beef331]

No there is not, PRs welcome there. I've personally never needed it and generally assumed people would make their own stdlib that's not a 1:1 of Nim's due to adding size and features that might not be needed.

ok, thanks
