i tried to cross compile nelua code from my linux machine to windows using zig cc and mingw
using both these commands
nelua test.nelua --cc="zig cc -target x86-windows"
nelua test.nelua --cc="x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc"
for this code:
## pragma{nogc=true}
##[[
-- Compile GLAD
--------------------------------------------------
cinclude "glad/glad.h"
cfile "glad/src/glad.c"
cincdir "glad/include"
-- generate bindings for glad
local nldecl = require 'nelua.plugins.nldecl'
if not fs.isfile('glad/init.nelua') then
nldecl.generate_bindings_file{
include_dirs = { 'glad/include' },
output_file = 'glad/init.nelua',
parse_includes = {'glad/glad.h'},
}
end
--------------------------------------------------
]]
-- Include GLAD
require "glad"give the same error for the generated glad bindings:
test.nelua:1:1: from: AST node Block
## pragma{nogc=true}
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
init.nelua:1:1: from: AST node Block

a workaround for this is manually compiling the generated c code from nelua using the appropriate c compiler
