Install fails due to missing dependency "darwin" about nimx

Maybe it was removed from the Nimble package repo?

I'm pretty sure it's there. Might be some problem with your nim/nimble installation? In any case this is better reported in the nimble repo.

Is there a way to skip this dependency since the name "darwin" indicates something specific to Mac OS X, which I don't need?

You could just clone nimx locally, patch its nimble file accordingly and nimble install from within the directory.

Thanks for that pointer. It's there in the Git blob, but not in the published version it seems.

Update: But it is in other places. Even though I had a recent version of Nimble, I think it was using a really old configuration file and there was some backward incompatibility. Deleting ~/.config/nimble/nimble.ini and running nimble update fixed it.

Good to know 👍
