This is a template for SailfishOS app in Nim language.

This template makes use of nimqml module which is built on top of DOtherSide library.
This repository includes stripped version of DOtherSide sources (without dependency on QtWidgets so an app you build will be able to pass harbour validator). Actually, you also need to delete a part of nimqml (maybe I will include it to this repository because of that)

• Log into Mer build engine. It's well described on https://sailfishos.org/develop/sdk-overview/develop-faq/
• Install Nim compiler for both targets:

git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim.git
cd Nim
git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/nim-lang/csources
cd csources
sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R sh build.sh
cd ..
sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R bin/nim c koch
sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R ./koch boot -d:release
sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R ./koch install /usr/local/bin
cd csources
sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486 -m sdk-install -R sh build.sh
cd ..
sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486 -m sdk-install -R bin/nim c koch
sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486 -m sdk-install -R ./koch boot -d:release
sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486 -m sdk-install -R ./koch install /usr/local/bin

• And for mersdk if you want a working nimble installation:

cd csources
sh build.sh
cd ..
bin/nim c koch
./koch boot -d:release
./koch install /usr/local/bin

• Install nimble package manager:

cd
git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble.git
cd nimble
nim c -r src/nimble install
echo 'PATH=$PATH:'$HOME'/.nimble/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

• Install nimqml module:

nimble install nimqml

• In build engine cd into project directory and launch build.sh with desired architecture and build mode like this:

sh build.sh i486 debug

This will produce an rpm package in ../build-projname-arch-mode/RPMS

To rename the project you'll need to change the following:

• 'name' variable in build.sh
• Name of rpm/.spec file
• Name entry in .spec file
• Name and contents of .desktop file
• Names of .png icons (icons/resolution/*.png)

• Consider including nimqml module into repository
• Integrate with mapplauncherd for view caching (I'm neither sure if it's possible nor if it's useful so this entry is in question)
