D.gnu - GDC and FreeBSD

Hi,
I built GDC 0.12 from ports on the FreeBSD 5.4 (make install clean).
When I tryed to compile a simple test app (gdc -o test test.d), 
I got following error:
object.d: cannot read file 'object.d'
what's wrong? Does it need some additional configuration?

do you have phobos in the right path?

I don't remember exactly now (it is on an another computer),
but I think it is in /usr/local/lib and there is also spec file.
At least place looked ok, and there was other libs too.

The library is libgphobos.a, in your "lib" folder.
Spec file contains additional libraries to link in.

You also need "include/d/$GCC_VERS/", with object.d,
which has the import modules ("headers") that D needs

PS. $GCC_VERS would be your GCC version, 3.3.x or 3.4.y

Yes, I also have files in include/d/$GCC_VERS/ 
When I run gcc --version and gdc --version, they have different
numbers. gcc is 3.4.2 (system compiler), but gdc is 3.4.5.
For gdc compilation I had to use gcc 3.4.5 core libs 
(make procedure fetched this files for me)
Do I have to set up some environment variable to use gdc?

Just PATH.

I think your versions of GCC should be compatible, but you
could also build a new gcc and a g++ too while you're at it ?

Like: --enable-languages=c,c++,d


You might want to bring the good old "Overbombing" and trace
your call to gdc and see what files it really tries to load ?

Not sure what the command is on FreeBSD, though. (e.g "strace")


You did run the simpler "gdc --verbose nothing.d" first, right ?

gcc core and g++ 3.4.5 libs was compiled when i built gdc.
but when I run gcc --version it is still 3.4.2 (default compiler).
Does it mean that I can run gcc 3.4.5 by some configuration also, 
or it's only libs needed for gdc?

What about PATH? gdc is already on the path. I can run it.
Looks like it can not find files in include/d/$GCC_VERS
Is this $GCC_VERS known env variable for gcc? Do I have to set it to
the version of gdc. Do gcc and gdc versions must mach? 
Do I have to configure default gcc?
Or do I have to specify path to include/d/$GCC_VERS somewhere?

If the versions of GCC are "compatible" (depends on versions/patches),
then you can use the system C/C++ compilers and link to their libs too.

I use this with GCC 3.3, on the Mac. (under /usr)

If they are "different", then you need to install GDC in an odd location
along with the built versions of gcc / g++ (that were compiled with GDC)

I use this with GCC 3.4, on the Mac. (in /opt/gdc)


 What about PATH? gdc is already on the path. I can run it.


You only need to set PATH if installed in an odd prefix ?

(with --prefix=/opt/gdc, for instance: PATH=/opt/gdc/bin)

If you have gdc in foo/bin/gdc, then it will automatically
search in foo/include/d and foo/include/d/$GCC_VERS dirs.

You can add additional search directories with the -I flag.

Ok, thanks!
I will play with it in evening again! :-)

May be gdc don't look in include/d/3.4.5/
because default gcc is 3.4.2?

Do I have to force it with -V 3.4.5 ?

Nah, the GCC version under include/d is the
version of GCC that you patched with GDC
in order to build your "gdc" binary ?

It doesn't have anything to do with the
system/default GCC version, really...

Ok, then option is to use gdc with -I flag?
Or can I set an include path in some config file for gdc?

I would just set it in the Makefile, but you can add it
to the DFLAGS environment variable (for "gdmd") too...

Or better yet, install Phobos in the advised location ? :-)
You can still keep your own import modules in some odd place.

Hi!  I played around with this and got it working; it requires
tweaking the ports Makefile, and also modifying a file in the
work directory.

So, first edit the /usr/ports/lang/gdc/Makefile, and set:



__GCC_VERSION=3.4.5-gdc


Next, change the do-install target:

do-install:
 cd ${WRKSRC} && ${GMAKE} install

(Make sure that's a TAB, not 8 spaces, before the ' '.)


Now, run 'make patch', and then edit the work/*/gcc/version.c
file, and set version_string="3.4.5-gdc ...".


Now, the full install can be done without conflicting with
any other gcc port, and you'll no longer need to pass the -I
flags to get gdc to find phobos.


I've sent this to the port maintainer, and he seemed keen to
fix the port.  Hopefully when he upgrades to 0.15 he'll be
able to fix this as well.

Regards,

Tim
