Building koch on OpenBSD fails unless the Nim directory is in `$PATH`

[euantorano]

When building koch on OpenBSD using the following steps:

cd $HOME
git clone --depth 1 -q https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim.git
cd Nim
git clone --depth 1 -q https://github.com/nim-lang/csources.git
gmake -C csources -j $(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
bin/nim c koch

The final step (bin/nim c koch) fails with the following output:

`bin/nim c koch` output

However, if we add $HOME/Nim/bin to the path, then run the command as nim c koch instead, the build completes successfully:

If we run nim dump with the nim binary built from csources, we get the following output:

I'm not sure what else to do in order to troubleshoot this...

Note that even with $HOME/Nim/bin in $PATH, after koch has been built, koch boot fails with similar errors:

koch boot seems to call bin/nim which fails.

[Araq]

Try to modify typetraits so that it does import macros and not import std / macros.

[euantorano]

@Araq That does solve the problem. Both bin/nim c koch now works, as does ./koch boot.

I'm making this change in my OpenBSD CI PR (#12105) to let the CI run. I believe similar errors crop up elsewhere based upon past runs.

[alaviss]

If the error also happens for the devel compiler (not the one built with csources), then you should check to see if getAppFilename() is implemented correctly. It's used by the compiler to derive a lot of paths, so if there's any problem it'd be in there.

[euantorano]

I “fixed” `getAppFilename()` on OpenBSD a while ago, but will try with the devel compiler once I work out how.

@alaviss I'm not sure if these are the right steps to try the devel compiler, but it works:

1. Use sources to bootstrap
2. Edit typetraits as suggested above
3. Run bin/nim c koch to build koch
4. Run ./koch boot -d:release
5. Clear out ~/.cache/nim and nimcache
6. Revert the changes to typetraits
7. Run bin/nim c koch

If those aren't the correct steps to try the devel compiler, I'd welcome any tips 😄

[Araq]

It's fine, now please create a PR for this required change and add a comment so that we don't forget we must import it via import macros.
