Posted: 08/31/07 14:12:49 I've been trying to compile tango on my PPC Mac Mini. I'm using the MacPorts? version of gdc 0.23. I've tried compiling manually and with dsss, but always get the following error: gdc -o dgccmain2.o -g -frelease -O2 -fversion=GC_Use_Alloc_MMap -fversion=GC_Use_Stack_Fixed -fversion=GC_Use_Data_Dyld -nostdinc -pipe -I../../.. -fversion=Posix \ -c dgccmain2.d dgccmain2.d:234: Error: no property 'file' for type 'object.Exception' dgccmain2.d:237: Error: no property 'file' for type 'object.Exception' dgccmain2.d:237: Error: no property 'line' for type 'object.Exception' dgccmain2.d:242: Error: no property 'toUtf8' for type 'object.Exception' dgccmain2.d:244: Error: no property 'next' for type 'object.Exception' dgccmain2.d:244: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (1) of type int to object.Exception Error: cannot cast int to object.Exception make[2]: *** [dgccmain2.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [lib] Error 2 Command bash returned with code 256, aborting. Does anyone know how to fix this?
