== How to Build D DBI ==

To build current trunk and future releases, use [/projects/dsss DSSS] and the provided dsss.conf.


=== Building earlier releases ===

==== Note: Build is required.  Go to [http://www.dsource.org/projects/build/ its homepage] for the current version. ====

The current recommended way to build dbi.lib is to use buildme.d.  It comes in the directory below dbi.

To build a release version of D DBI with every module, use any of the following:

{{{
dmd -run buildme.d all

gdmd -run buildme.d all

gdc -o buildme buildme.d
buildme all
}}}

That is the equivalent of compiling everything using build with the DMD switches -inline, -O, -ofdbi.lib, -release, -clean, and -full.

If the program is compiled using -debug, the DMD switches used are -debug, -g, -ofdbi.lib, -w, -clean, and -full.

buildme also has several other capabilities.  If you can remove them from the list with a "-" as shown with.

{{{
dmd -debug -run buildme.d all -oracle -odbc -inline

gdmd -debug -run buildme.d all -oracle -odbc -inline

gdc -fdebug -o buildme buildme.d
buildme all -oracle -odbc -inline
}}}

This will generate a debug version (see above) of D DBI with every database except oracle and odbc.  Functions will also be inlined wherever that's possible.

If you would prefer to build D DBI with only a couple databases, use, for example,

{{{
dmd -run buildme.d mysql pg

gdmd -run buildme.d mysql pg

gdc -o buildme buildme.d
buildme mysql pg
}}}

For more details, see the documentation in [download:trunk/buildme.d the file itself].

Debian/Ubuntu machines must have package ''libmysqlclient16-dev'' installed
