You may already be doing this, but you need to follow the instructions here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/LinuxInstallDmd Since you are using the install script, I assume you are using the script from the downloaded package and not the svn source checkout. Next, since you have a libphobos.a there, that's a good sign. libphobos.a is the name of the functional tango library. The tango library needs to be named this because the dmd compiler "hard-wires" the 'phobos' name in there. libphobos.a is actually a combinating of libbasic.a (the gc), libdmd.a (the compiler specific objects), and libtango.a (tango core elements). The gdc compiler calls it's library libgphobos.a. So that should be all you need. Are there any other problems in actually building Tango based projects? If so, please continute to post in this forum. Several of us here should be able to help you :). -JJR

I cannot not see any objects from the net package, for instance. But I'll have to confirme that later (tomorrow). Ant

Actually this error above is so ridiculous: I forgot to add an echo before the string to echo.. *D'oh*. Would you mind trying it again with the just newly checked in version? Best regards, Alex

This may not have been emphasized enough, but putting objects with templates into a library don't work fully across all the toolchains, thus we have avoided this by default. We thus recommend that when building applications against Tango, that you use a tool like bud and/or DSSS. Since the library approach may work better on linux, even using DMD, we may help you with that too.

As mentioned in the installation HowTo?, the dmd.conf replacement does not always work out correctly. Could you check your dmd.conf (either in /etc or similar), and post the file content after the execution of the script?

In particular the quoting (use of ") in the DFLAGS variable can be off, it needs to be the first character after = and the last after all the options.

jgeewax Joined: 10/20/06 Posts: 3	Posted: 02/04/07 21:32:34 Sorry, copy from the terminal and didn't notice in preview: [Environment] ;;DFLAGS=-I/usr/local/share/dmdsrc/phobos DFLAGS=-I"${PREFIX}/include/tango/ -L-L${PREFIX}/lib/ -version=Posix -version=Tango" I am trying playing around with the quotation marks as you suggest, but the follow doesn't help the situation at all: [Environment] ;;DFLAGS=-I/usr/local/share/dmdsrc/phobos DFLAGS="-I${PREFIX}/include/tango/ -L-L${PREFIX}/lib/ -version=Posix -version=Tango"
larsivi Joined: 03/27/04 Posts: 614	Posted: 02/04/07 21:44:53 jgeewax: Seems to me that the quotation marks were wrong in the first case, and corrected in the second. There is another problem though (if that is your whole file), PREFIX isn't set to anything. Add a line before DFLAGS saying for instance PREFIX=/usr/local
