Arch Linux

DMD's frontend license was switched from GPL/Artistic to Boost:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/lndgp4$hiq$1@digitalmars.com
The files gpl.txt and artistic.txt no longer exist.
Instead there is now boostlicense.txt

Thanks for the notification Kelet, I fixed it now! Isn't D a wonderful language :)

Hi, this works great but it is slightly outdated.

install -Dm644 $srcdir/dmd/docs/man/man1/dmd.conf.5 $pkgdir/usr/share/man/man5/dmd.conf.5

Should be changed to

install -Dm644 $srcdir/dmd/docs/man/man5/dmd.conf.5 $pkgdir/usr/share/man/man5/dmd.conf.5

In the GitHub repository, dmd.conf.5 was moved from the man1 folder to a new man5 folder (a correction). This package fails to build because of it.

Thanks for the package, works great otherwise!

could not read dmd-git PKGBUILD: badly packaged tarball

Okay released "dmd-git" now to replace this. Please remove this package and install dmd-git. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay in removing the invalid patch. I've produced a simpler package now but currently druntime isn't building so won't be able to test it until the git is fixed.

It looks like stacktrace.d compiles fine on 64-bit now, so that whole patch section can be removed from the PKGBUILD. Simply remove lines 58-63 and the PKGBUILD seems to work again.

Fails to build:

This package should be called dmd-git instead. Can you make a new package? I'll then delete this one.

izenja: yep I know. Split packages gave me a bunch of hassle when I was writing pacmoon.

I don't know if it helps (you probably already know this), but note that this PKGBUILD actually provides dmd, druntime, and libphobos as separate packages within it. So it will build them all and output 3 package archives.

Bellum: It's supposed to be that way, you install libphobos separately with this package (some prefer tango etc.).

You can emerge libphobos-git to go with this, or just stick to the dmd2-complete package (although the complete package no longer works for me).

Hmm, for whatever reason libphobos isn't being installed for me. I'd had (and removed) dmd2-complete before this. Here's the output of -Ql.

dmd2-git /etc/dmd.conf

Thanks izenja for making the package in the first place :) I've adopted it now I'll look after it!

Thank you, jpike. I've updated the package with the required changes and would be happy if you took over as maintainer. I've disowned it - hopefully that's the right way to transfer it.

I'm happy to take over maintenance of this package, I am exploring cutting edge D stuff daily for at least the next few years as part of a large research project.

Okay will this destroyed my formatting, but essentially there are two instances of your PATH override which must be changed.

There is a problem with this PKGBUILD.

If you have dmd already on the system it will use your (old) dmd instead of the git dmd it just built which will often fail. This is why stqn below had problems.

See:

PATH="$PATH:$srcdir/${_gitname[0]}-build/src" make -f posix.mak MODEL=$archstr

Should be:

PATH="$srcdir/${_gitname[0]}-build/src:$PATH" make -f posix.mak MODEL=$archstr

You want your new PATH before the system path. Here is the entire PKGBUILD with my change:

Thanks for this package!

I had to run makepkg twice, though, to obtain a working environment: I had dmd 2.055 installed; ran makepkg, which worked without any error; installed dmd2-git, druntime2-git and libphobos2-git, but then my program wouldn't build, the linker complaining about undefined functions.

I figured maybe I needed the latest dmd2 installed to build everything correctly (quite a paradox...) so I ran makepkg again, and this time my program builds and works.

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear that it still works; I haven't been keeping up with it.

Just wanted to thank you for this. Just built it and I'm enjoying the inout goodness!
