Posted: 07/08/08 16:08:23 Hello, I've tried many variation of installation, but found no normal way to do it :( All i want is a DMD (1.031), Tango (0.99.6), and maybe DSSS (need to easily install DBI, mango, fast4d and compile projects, or any other choice?).. Is there any normal way, tried a few tutorials but it didn't make any positive results :( My system: Fedora Core 6/Gentoo.. Thanks,anymore...

I assume you are able to install DMD and Tango properly, at which point all other libraries typically follow the same pattern. Place the import files in a folder, no problem in having the various project roots in the same place, could even be where Tango is installed. If you also want binary library files, you need to see if the D library supports building those (not all do), or if they have DSSS config file. If they have, they are easily built and installed. This would however mean that you would need to use DSSS for your own project too. All-in-all, using several libraries will always be somewhat of a manual process if DSSS doesn't support it, with installation, building and configuration. I don't think you are missing anything, this is just the way it is.

I think I need gdc or dmd, tango and dsss so I downloaded http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/tango/0.99.7/tango-0.99.7-gdcr243-forDSSS-gdc-i686-pc-linux-gnu-withDSSS-withGDC.sh which seem to be a bundel all I need and installed it. The install worked fine and I could build a hello world example with dsss. The problem is I cannot install derelictsdl fabe@fabetop:~/workspace/test$ sudo dsss net install derelictsdl [sudo] password for fabe: Synchronizing... + curl -s -S -k http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dsss/sources/source.list -o /usr/share/dsss/sources/source.list -z /usr/share/dsss/sources/source.list + curl -s -S -k http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dsss/sources/pkgs.list -o /usr/share/dsss/sources/pkgs.list -z /usr/share/dsss/sources/pkgs.list + curl -s -S -k http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dsss/sources/mirrors.list -o /usr/share/dsss/sources/mirrors.list -z /usr/share/dsss/sources/mirrors.list Working in /tmp/DSSS_derelictsdl + svn export http://svn.dsource.org/projects/derelict/trunk/DerelictSDL sh: svn: not found + curl -k http://dsss.brainsware.org/mirror/derelictsdl.tar.gz -o derelictsdl.tar.gz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 14510 100 14510 0 0 64899 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 115k + gunzip -c derelictsdl.tar.gz | tar -xf - Installing derelictutil Working in /tmp/DSSS_derelictutil + svn export http://svn.dsource.org/projects/derelict/trunk/DerelictUtil sh: svn: not found + curl -k http://dsss.brainsware.org/mirror/derelictutil.tar.gz -o derelictutil.tar.gz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 5006 100 5006 0 0 35319 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 106k + gunzip -c derelictutil.tar.gz | tar -xf - Creating imports for DerelictUtil derelict => DerelictUtil + /usr/bin/rebuild -Idsss_imports/ -I. -S./ -I/usr/include/d -S/usr/lib/ -I/usr/include/d -S/usr/lib -I/home/fabe/d/include/d -S/home/fabe/d/lib -oqdsss_objs/G -explicit -lib derelict/util/wintypes.d derelict/util/wrapper.d derelict/util/exception.d derelict/util/loader.d -oflibDerelictUtil.a derelict/util/wrapper.d:69: Error: undefined identifier fromUtf8z derelict/util/wrapper.d:69: Error: function expected before (), not fromUtf8z of type int derelict/util/wrapper.d:69: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (fromUtf8z(cstr)) of type int to char[] Command /usr/bin/rebuild returned with code 256, aborting.

The errors shos that either dsss installs a too old version of derelictsdl, or that derelictsdl is out of date when compared to Tango. I suggest taking up the problem in the derelict forum first, dsss second.
