Hello,
I was trying to install Arc to test it out, and I can't find the code. Well, actually, the source seem to be there, but the dir structure has changed, so dsss can't find anything, and there is no dsss.conf anyway.
Since the svn browser says last change was 3 months ago, I am wondering what is going on with this fine project. Is it a transition phase? Has it been forgotten? Am I missing something?

I understand your frustration. I haven't been able to contact clayasaurus through the forums or his email account. I'm considering contacting the admin of dsource to see if I can be added as an admin so that the project won't die.

The project seems to have been forgotten by some, but not by others. I'm working on a few extensions myself.

Hi, I'm just going through major transitions, from college to normal life.

See last 2 posts: http://arclib.blogspot.com/

I've recently fixed up the trunk to compile with the latest stable tango.
Do not use dsss net install, but grab dsss and do the install locally from the trunk.

svn co http://svn.dsource.org/projects/arclib/trunk/ arclib

cd arclib
dsss build & dsss install
cd examples\
dsss build

Remeber the downloads\dll and downloads\testbin is required for examples.

Eventually I want to use xfbuild, but I can't get it to work atm. The current trunk structure will allow the use of xfbuild in the future however.

Thanks. I think I'll wait for the stable release then; I have just checked out the source following your instructions and once again I failed*, probably because you're still finishing it up. I am in no hurry - just wanted to try it out to use it in a close future - so I can wait for the cleaning.

* For reference, it complains about a missing dsss.conf I think:

Hi,

Something is wrong with DSSS, my suggestion is to try and use CDC.

Thanks for the sugestion. I will look into it.
By now, I have made dsss work, but it complains about a missing import in shadow.d, not knowing what 'abs' is. Adding a line 'import tango.math.Math;" works for me.

Once I figure all dependencies, I will create a PKGBUILD and upload it to AUR so it's available for ArchLinux users .

[clayasaurus]

look in dll/ to get an idea for dependencies.

Also, how did you fix dsss? I have the same issues with it on *nix.

[elkano]

To be honest, I am not sure what I did. I think the issue came because of an update of llvm (I use ldc, and the issue appeared just after the update), and disappeared some days later after a system-wide update, maybe with a reinstall of ldc and dsss (I know I recompiled several elements of the toolchain, but I can't remember how it went: I have a lot in my mind at this time).

Sorry I can't help more.

Sorry to necro this dead thread but it is the first (and only) google result for "AssertError Failure sss/conf.d(1149)" .
Because dsss is still useful for many projects I figured it would help others to see the fix for that error:

When you get that asserterror in sss.conf or sss/conf.d it's probably because you haven't configured your /etc/rebuild/whatever.conf properly (or whatever the windows equivalent is named)
It needs to have either:
version=Posix
or
version=Windows
somewhere in the file.

I ran into this error using ldc's provided ldc-tango-posix config file. Hope this helps someone out there.
