Add a sokol microui example program.

When I try to build the sample from the build directory via:

odin run ../examples/microui --debug

...I get:

/Users/floh/projects/sokol-odin/examples/microui/main.odin(9:1) Syntax Error: Path does not exist: vendor:microui

Odin was installed via brew install odin --HEAD and version is:

odin version dev-2023-02:16262800

...is there a step I'm missing to install the vendor packages?

(PS: same with the "stable" version odin version dev-2023-02:fcc920ed installed via brew install odin (without --HEAD)

Apart from the above, could you add the new sample to the GH Action script? (that way compilation is tested on the various platforms):

See the end of file here:

Sure, I can update that.
vendor is packaged with the compiler so it should be there and able to find it. Reading through here https://odin-lang.org/docs/install/ and from searching discord it may be that it is relying on locating vendor relative to the compiler executable. So I think you either need to make a softlink to odin.exe or put the Odin compiler directory in your path.

[thePHTest]

Alternatively, it looks like an ODIN_ROOT environment variable can be set to specify where the core and vendor collections live.

Aha ok, on Mac homebrew is creating a link to the actual Odin executable, and that link is in the path. Maybe this confuses the compiler... sucks though that it doesn't work out of the box... I guess that would need to be fixed in Odin to first follow links before trying to resolve a relative path.

...but it's still strange that I don't see any traces of the vendor packages in the install directory...

...e.g. at the top level I have 3 directories:

bin                  libexec              share

..under libexex there's two directories: core and shared (and shared is empty).

core looks like it only has stdlib stuff...

...maybe there's something wrong with the homebrew formula?

...e.g. here's the tree output of the Odin install dir (when installed with homebrew) for reference:

odin_install_dir.txt

[thePHTest]

Yeah it should have a vendor directory. I don't have macOS to test anything. Seems like another discord user ran into the same issue and made a fork of that homebrew: https://github.com/esnunes/homebrew-tap/blob/main/Formula/odin.rb#L31

[floooh]

Hmm ok... I think it's better to not put any samples in for now which use vendor packages... TBH I looked at the Mac installation instructions on the Odin landing page, realized that this involves installing llvm and building from source, and then checked if there's a homebrew package instead :D

Would be nice if Odin had ready-made downloads like this:

https://ziglang.org/download/

[thePHTest]

Alright, I'll keep it on a fork until a future date when Odin is at 1.0 and has fully-fledged releases.
There are currently efforts to move off of LLVM which should solve these issues.
