[waruqi]

I run nim c --cc:vcc src\main.nim on windows, but it will stuck.

>nim c --cc:vcc --verbosity:3 src\ma
in.nim

and I run vccexe /c --platform:amd64 manually, it will also stuck.

$ nim -v
Nim Compiler Version 1.6.
# make sure to include the git hash if not using a tagged release

Maybe it is related to the --platform:amd64 parameter, if I remove it, vccexe can return immediately.

Here --cc:vcc is compiling normally. Could you provide the code you are trying to compile and the full output of nim -v?

Could you provide the code you are trying to compile

echo "hello"

I had tested it on Windows 10. I don't have Windows 7 installed at the moment to test.
