added mingw-winlibs because
Running post_install script...done.
'nim' (2.2.6) was installed successfully!
'nim' suggests installing 'mingw-winlibs'.

We should be pinning nim like Go above with @2.2.4 or similar and using hold:
admin@windows-01 MINGW64 ~
$ scoop hold --help
Usage: scoop hold <apps>
To hold a user-scoped app:
scoop hold <app>
To hold a global app:
scoop hold -g <app>
Options:
-g, --global Hold globally installed apps

Isn't it an option to preserve the single source of truth for the nim compiler version and use the one compiled by the deps-common make target? I think the USE_SYSTEM_NIM could probably be managed internally for status-go target whenever it's not provided by the user.
I was thinking this would be a good rule to have:
USE_SYSTEM_NIM provided by the user - use it everywhere
USE_SYSTEM_NIM not provided by the user - add the nimbus-build-system nim to PATH and enable USE_SYSTEM_NIM internally for all targets.

@alexjba : that is an option true, but since This PR merely brings in status-go version with that change : https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/7185/changes#diff-76ed074a9305c04054cdebb9e9aad2d818052b07091de1f20cad0bbac34ffb52R220 and modifies system scripts to make sure |

What I meant is that we could probably avoid installing Nim on the host machines altogether (and ask developers to pin a specific local nim version). Instead, the main Makefile could configure the Nim path automatically by using the |

Not sure we can avoid it entirely..So unless the nim compilation part is producing these weird errors we're still stuck with these issues. |
