I am also facing the exact same issue.

Thanks for your work on nph!

[jmgomez]

This PR which is now merged, should fix it https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/pull/1267 But note that it requires to use the sat solver like so nimble install nph --solver:sat

[TheGoldMonkey]

got it to work with nimble install nph@#master

[BradleyHe]

Still doesn't work for me on Nim 2.2.0. Had to switch to 2.0.12 for it to work.

Same output with --solver:sat.

[elcritch]

This still seems to be present when using the current release of Nimble.

If I do nimble install nimble@\#master && nimble install nph --solver:sat then it works fine. @jmgomez could we get a release of Nimble made at some point?

[jmgomez]

@elcritch yes, the plan is to make one as soon as the latest PRs are merged

[arnetheduck]

https://github.com/arnetheduck/nph/releases/tag/v0.6.1 solves this for older nimbles while nimble master should be able to compile any nph version (ie nimble install [email protected] should work with the next nimble release after 0.16.4)
