Hi,
Thanks very much for your work on Chawan, it's awesome!
I have been running it on OpenBSD with no problems, until I tried building a current checkout today. I get a coredump while compiling:
/home/user/tmp/chawan/src/io/dynstream.nim(441, 8) Warning: method has lock level , but another method has 0 [LockLevel] ../home/user/tmp/chawan/src/io/dynstream.nim(494, 8) Warning: method has lock level 0, but another method has [LockLevel] ............Illegal instruction (core dumped) gmake: *** [Makefile:165: target/release/libexec/chawan/gopher2html] Error 132 gmake: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Illegal instruction (core dumped) gmake: *** [Makefile:146: target/release/libexec/chawan/cgi-bin/gemini] Error 132 Illegal instruction (core dumped) gmake: *** [Makefile:165: target/release/libexec/chawan/gmi2html] Error 132 ....................Illegal instruction (core dumped) gmake: *** [Makefile:91: target/release/bin/cha] Error 132
The last time I successfully built it from source was around December 17, so it must be some change in that timeframe which is causing it.
I will try to diagnose this further to see if can narrow it down to a specific commit, but if you have any ideas on how to approach this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards, Alex
Here are a few more details:

Hi Alex,

thanks :)

Probably because Nim in OpenBSD ports is still on 1.6.18, but Chawan now requires Nim 2.0.0 or newer. Try building Nim from source:
git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim && cd Nim ./build_all.sh export NIM="$PWD/bin/nim"I guess there should be at least a Nim version check in main.nim, as the compiler dumping core isn't very instructive :P
(I'd been sticking with 1.6.14 support until recently, but after Debian dropped 1.6.14 from testing I decided there's no point.
Nim in OBSD ports doesn't support my OBSD machine's CPU, so I'm building from source there... I had no idea ports is still on 1.6.18, I would have waited if I knew :/)
Building the new version of Nim errored out part-way into it for some reason, but apparently got far enought that the 'nim' binary still works, and sucessfully builds Chawan :)
Thanks!
A pyrrhic victory :) glad to hear it worked.
(I've added a version check now.)
