Arch Linux User Repository

==> ERROR: folders.diff was not found in the build directory and is not a URL. how can I solve this ??

1) the community version of this (the gdc PKGBUILD file) seperates the generated binaries/libraries into two packages, "gdc" and "libgphobox-devel" (for a discussion of why go there). Because the AUR does afaik not support split packages in a PKGBUILD, this cannot be done here. Do not try to mix gdc-git with any of these two packages, as essentially gdc+libgphobosdevel = gdc-git. 2) I could not reproduce your error in any of my attempts (which were difficult given that you did not supply a minimal working example for your problem, so I have to guess where you encounter it). I have, however, adapted the packaging function to mirror the changes made in the community PKGBUILD: Please build and install gdc-git again (preferrably after first doing "pacman -Rsunc gdc-git" to remove all traces of the previous installation) with the updated PKGBUILD I just uploaded here. If you encounter the error again, please provide a minimal working example on how to reproduce it.

I'm having trouble running gdc from this package; the linker reports that gphobos2 cannot be found. Running 'locate gphobos2' reveals only a static library in the AUR build directory. I cannot sync with libgphobos-devel from the Arch official packages, as this package supposedly conflicts with it according to pacman. Halp meh~! (plzthxbai, etc.)

Added Arch integration changes done for the "gdc" package back into this package.

Updated to gcc snapshot 4.9-20130721. Also, pkgver format from now on is {GCC_MAJOR_VERSION}.{GCC_SNAPSHOT_DATE}.{GDC_COMMIT_COUNT}.{GDC_COMMIT_HASH} to express both which gcc snapshot is used and which gdc commit was used.

Updated to gcc snapshot 4.9-20130331, had some problems compiling with the (new) current gcc 4.8 release beforehand.

Updated now: This will keep being compiled with GDC git master branch + GCC trunk snapshot, thus moving to GCC version 4.9.

I'll update this once I'm relatively sure whether continuing to use the master branch (and thus implicitly switch from gcc 4.8 which was released a few days ago to the new trunk version 4.9) or switching to gdc'c new gdc-4.8 branch and thus explicitly use the gcc 4.8.x releases is the best call. For now, I'm flagging this out-of-date as it probably won't work anymore (the master branch expects gcc 4.9 not 4.8).

Fixed now by using the latest gcc snapshot (4.8-20130310)
