Cannot open file: ../dist/checksums/src/checksums/md5

[WeebNetsu]

I noticed while compiling Nimterop that I'm getting an error where modulegraphs.nim cannot open the file checksums/md5, I've traced it down to here https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/d30565f810ba5165ea2e5bcd91ea3dee9950051f/compiler/modulegraphs.nim#L15C1-L15C43

Is this possibly because the checksums package has become something that needs to be installed? https://nim-lang.org/docs/md5.html

To clarify, I believe this is a Nim 2.0 issue and not a Nimterop issue. I have tried installing the checksums package, but still get the same error.

Here is the full nimble build --verbose output:

Thank you!

Probably Nimterop needs to call koch checksums somewhere.

Could you give or link me to more information about this? Maybe I'll be able to fix it?

[ringabout]

checksums can be installed to the dist directory via koch checksums

Nim/koch.nim

Line 761 in 3c48af7

of "checksums":

I took a look at the docs https://nim-lang.org/docs/koch.html but it doesn't really give me any information about koch and how to use it... I feel like it should be included with the Nim binary on install, but I don't seem to have it anywhere... Should I be compiling the code you sent manually to get koch to work, or is there a simpler way around it?

[WeebNetsu]

Seems like the issue was because my Nim did not work properly... When I switched from using the Nim installed by Pacman on my distro to choosenim compiling worked perfectly ~

Shout out to the Nim Telegram group for pointing it out

This issue still relevant. Related: nim-lang/nimble#1103

[shayneoneill]

Seems to also be a problem with Macos brew installed nim. I'l try the "choosenim" version?

edit: Choosenim seems to explode on my mac :(

Yep I just ran into many various issues like this one and the culprit ended up being using the brew version of nim....
