asdf-v

V (The V Programming Language) plugin for asdf version manager

Install

Make sure you have curl and cc. (and asdf.) Also, if you plan to use the http package and/or gui packages, you need some dependencies. Read https://github.com/vlang/v#running-the-examples.

To install the plugin, run this:

asdf plugin-add v

(Now this plugin is on the asdf-plugins repo, so no Github urls are needed!)

Compiling from a Github Release Tag

$ asdf install v 0.1.0

Compiling from a Git reference or from source

Along with released versions, you can always install any version of the git commit id or git tag name.

Using the CLI

You can download and compile a specific commit reference from the V GitHub repository by running: asdf install v ref:<commit reference>. You can then set the local/global version to your new version by running:

asdf local v ref:<commit reference>
# Or
asdf global v ref:<commit reference>

.tool-versions file

You can specify the version to install with a line like so in your .tool-versions file:

v ref:<commit reference>

About symlinks

In the past, V required ~/code/v to be the executable path, and asdf-v used and recreated a symlink every time the asdf shim was called. V now doesn't use that directory (and ENV values), so current asdf-v versions do not create symlinks, and doesn't require/edit the ~/code directory anymore.

Use

Check asdf readme for instructions on how to install & manage versions of V.
