Installation

nimble install zigcc

windows

nim c --cc:clang --clang.exe="zigcc.cmd" --clang.linkerexe="zigcc.cmd" --forceBuild:on --opt:speed hello.nim

linux and rest

nim c --cc:clang --clang.exe="zigcc" --clang.linkerexe="zigcc" --forceBuild:on --opt:speed hello.nim

cross compilation example

build linux executables from windows:

nim c --cc:clang --clang.exe="zigcc.cmd" --clang.linkerexe="zigcc.cmd" --passc:"-target x86_64-linux-gnu" --passl:"-target x86_64-linux-gnu" --forceBuild:on --os:linux --opt:speed  --out:hellolinux hello.nim

build windows executables from linux:

nim c --cc:clang --clang.exe="zigcc" --clang.linkerexe="zigcc" --passc:"-target x86_64-windows" --passl:"-target x86_64-windows" --forceBuild:on --os:windows --opt:speed foo.nim
