 Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2006 8:13 am Post subject: Compiling/Linking/Building with mango |
 |
|
Hello all,
Im new to the D language and I have some questions about compiling with the mango library. I am easily able to create the .o file for my little example program by using -I/path_to_mango_src and -c. When I try without the -c option i get linker errors because Im not providing a mango library file to the linker. I guess it would be good to create a mango.a but Im also reading about the build program which may be better to use. I was able to get build compiled using the provided unix make file. I then used the command
| Code: | | build -I/path_to_mango_src test.d path_to_mango_src/build/mango.lib |
This gave the error:
| Code: | String.d(655): function mango.text.String.MutableStringTemplate!(char).MutableStringTemplate.truncate expected to return a value of type mango.text.String.MutableStringTemplate!(char).MutableStringTemplate
|
Im not sure If im doing something wrong in the build process here or what the best way to do this is.
Thanks for your help. |

| It looks like Kris has to update Mango for the latest versions of DMD. Maybe you can go back one or two DMD versions meanwhile. |

Actually, I think he may just be trying to work with an older version of Mango. I haven't had any issues with Mango and the latest DMD, but then again I also always use the latest SVN snapshot of Mango. (And don't compile to a .lib/.a either.)
I would recommend just checking out the Mango repository and trying to compile that.

Ok, I am now using the latest version of DMD with the latest mango files checked out from svn. I would like to avoid using an older version of dmd if possible. There is now a different error. To me this sounds like a problem with the compiler version as well:
| Code: | /home/anthony/workspace/include/mango/mango/cluster/qos/socket/ClusterServer.d(449): shadowing declaration mango.cluster.qos.socket.ClusterServer.CacheServer.LoaderThread.load.p is deprecated
|
I am also wondering if im using build incorrectly. I see that there is a mango.d and a mango.brf file in the build directory of the mango head. This same error occurs when I try:
| Code: | | build path_to_mango_src/build/mango.d test.d |
(in the directory of my program)
or
(in the mango build directory)
I am now going to try some other versions of dmd. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks again. |

| I'm telling you: Kris needs to update Mango. Compile with -d (or add it to the brf) |

Mango compiles fine now (DMD .162) if I run build mango in the mango build directory. There were some updates made by teqdruid. I just have one more problem/question. When I try to compile my example program using build I get:

Build does look at my import statements as said in the documentation and makes .o files for all the needed mango source modules and puts them in the directory of my test programs source. It does not, however, link there object files together as an executable. If i use dmd on all the object files I do get an executable. Shouldnt build do this by default? |

Yes, build should do it by default. It's probably broken on Unix. I've just emailed you a version which I know to be working. BTW, you can just call me "John" or "John Demme" here, since there are a few Johns.
