# Imlib2

This is just a wrapper of the [Imlib2 library](https://docs.enlightenment.org/api/imlib2/html/).
Thanks to Vindaar for his [initial gist](https://gist.github.com/Vindaar/e518e310eb3a0a95bdda7bbe8e4341f8)

# current how to preview build or check usage

- and I fix some warnings from nimble build.

```bash
cd examples

nimble build --verbose  --verbosity:3
```

# internal of nimble

```bash

# todo

1. I don't know how to directly use of git repo as a nimble dependency.
   so I just copy the files to the examples folder.
2. the core thing I want to learn from nim is his static link feature that I met in boomer application.
   it is so freaking weird that I can't link the imlib2 library statically.As compare below

```bash
# boomer application
