cannot open 'private/edtaa3func'

When trying to compile rod with nake, I have the following error:
/home/wan/.nimble/pkgs/nimx-0.1/nimx/font.nim(16, 15) Error: cannot open 'private/edtaa3func'
Maybe it's a file that hasn't been committed to the nimx repo?

Nope, thats from the ttf dependency. Seems like you installed nimx long time ago, and nimble install doesn't update dependencies ( say hi to @dom96 😉 )
To fix your case, just

nimble install https://github.com/yglukhov/ttf

Yep, that must be it. Deleted nimx, rod and ttf from my nimble packages and re-did nimble install and now goes past that error.
Hum, I kinda wish now that there was a way to have the dependency update when you install something that requires a newer dependency. Is that because ttf didn't have a different version number and stayed at 0.1, thus wasn't updated?

[yglukhov]

Yup, ttf doesn't have any versions, and nimx just requires the latest version of ttf. Maybe in regards to ttf it's worth setting a proper version, but it's not convenient for me to tag other my packages, which change too quickly to maintain dependencies in the packages that use them.

Basically, here's the ticket to show what i would prefer. nim-lang/nimble#169
