Requires you to have libpostal installed
build dependencies:
- clang
- pkg-config
- libpostal (installed system-wide)
See the tests for detailed examples.
To install, simply add https://github.com/weskerfoot/NimPostal
to your .nimble file, and make sure the build dependencies are installed. If you installed libpostal using your system package manager (and followed the instructions to download the datasets) it should just work.
You might also add this code to config.nims
to get it to build, depending on how you set things up.
import strutils
switch("passL", staticExec("pkg-config --libs libpostal").strip)
If you compiled libpostal from source, then add switch("passL", "-L./libpostal/src/.libs -lpostal")
to config.nims in your project (customize depending on where you installed it). You may change the path to a more standard path if you did sudo make install
. Make sure it can find the shared library at runtime (may require setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
if you have it in a non-standard location).
