digitalmars.D - 64bit phobos on Windows?

I know that 64bit support on Windows is behind Linux etc for various reasons,

bunch of errors like

std\file.d(223): Error: undefined identifier GetLastError
std\file.d(2067): Error: undefined identifier WIN32_FIND_DATA

Which appears to be because various things in Phobos use version(Win32), and
only 'Win64' is set in 64bit builds.
I guess that at least some of these should be using version(Windows) instead?

Yea, also even if a working Win64 codegen/linker is still fairly far off, it
would
be nice to be able to test that code passes semantic analysis in 64 under
Windows.

Is a Windows 64 bit version of GDC any closer than a version of DMD? I guess
that
fixing Phobos will be useful there as well.

Back when GDC was under its previous leadership, I made two separate 
attempts to merge GDC with DevKitARM (ie, homebrew for Nintendo platforms). 
I achieved partial success, but everything about the experience was such a 
royal PITA that I'm more than a little hesitent to go anywhere near GCC 
again (especially compiling GCC).

Eveything's probably out-of-date enough to useless by now, but FWIW I wrote 
a little bit about it here:

Heh, well, GBA at a minimum, which is ARM7. So it's not as if it's D->Z80 or 
anything like that, and with the GB line's switch from Z80 to ARM7, typical 
GB development switched from Asm to C/C++, so D isn't too big of a stretch. 
And I never did get things like D's structs or classes working, or any of 
the D runtime, or phobos or tango for that matter. Didn't even attempt 
garbage collection (I would more likely have just ripped out the GC. Despite 
its processing power, the GBA is still fairly low on memory. And so is the 
DS for that matter.)

But yea, my game-development days were the primary reason I got interested 
in D in the first place. Everything in the game world was C/C++ (and still 
is, unless you count web-games, MS's XNA and in-engine scripting - none of 
which I count), and by the early 2000's I had come to see C/C++ as an 
irritating anachronism (Header files? In 200X? Really?). But unlike all the 
other popular languages at the time (remember when VC's were allegedly "the 
undeniable future, period"?), D was the *only* modern language that actually 
had the *potential* to be used on such platforms.

Got that, and I was just reading that page.
But I'm confused about several things.

The guide mentions the latest working version:
D2.020 r167:6f2adfcabae6 GCC 4.3.5

Then it mentions we need a newer version of TDM-GCC:
TDM GCC 4.5.0
I'm guessing this one will just be used to compile GCC+GDC. Got that installed.

It mentions patch files:
"For GCC 4.3.X, fixes out of memory bug."
And has a link to this:
"gcc-4.4.0-20080731-pex-win32.patch"

Is that patch file for the 3.x series, for the memory bug? And which
GCC sources, the one from TDM-GCC, 4.3.x series or not?

Then it references TDM patches, but they're not links to patch files
they're just plain text:
"TDM-GCC patches."
    * [buildsys.patch] Minor build system hacks for Cygwin and mSYS
    * [ehstatic.patch] Allow exceptions from DLLs without shared GCC libraries
    * [headerpath.patch] Correctly detect backslashes as path
separators in include paths
    * [make-rel-pref.patch] A patch to fix make_relative_prefix()
semantics and a little-encountered relocation bug
    * [make-temp-file.patch] A patch to fix make_temp_file() semantics
and a little-encountered environment bug

So what's up with those?

I can't find the TDM-GCC 4.3.5 sources on the TDM website, the latest
in the 4.3.x series I could find is 4.3.3-tdm-1:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/Sources/TDM%20Sources/Previous/

Then later in the guide it links to a completely different website
with GCC sources:
http://gcc.cybermirror.org/releases/

This is quite a mess! :D

I guess it should apply to the TDM sources and the GCC sources. The
bugzilla entry says that problem has been fixed in 2008. So if you use
gcc 4.5.x sources you shouldn't need that patch anymore.

Then it references TDM patches, but they're not links to patch files
they're just plain text:
"TDM-GCC patches."
    * [buildsys.patch] Minor build system hacks for Cygwin and mSYS

Those are in the TDM-GCC sources
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/Sources/TDM%20Sources/gcc-4.5=
.1-tdmsrc-1.zip/download
(In fact the tdm sources consist of only these patches and
buildscripts). Maybe it would even make sense to apply all patches from
tdm, I'm not sure if it could cause any problems.

I can't find the TDM-GCC 4.3.5 sources on the TDM website, the latest
in the 4.3.x series I could find is 4.3.3-tdm-1:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/Sources/TDM%20Sources/Previo=


us/

Then later in the guide it links to a completely different website

http://gcc.cybermirror.org/releases/


As the TDM sources are only patches you also need the upstream gcc
sources located there. You then have to patch these sources with the
tdm patches.

This is quite a mess! :D


I remember I got it working half a year ago, but since then many
things changed and I'm not sure if gdc even compiles on windows
now. I'd try to start with a 32 bit version first, because 64bit mingw
will likely cause even more problems.

Then the TDM-GCC patches for 4.3.3 also work for the upstream source
version 4.3.5. This is quite common, if patches for older versions work
fine with new upstream releases, there are often no new patches
released.

Heh :)

Back in the early 90's I switched from my Apple IIc (which I still have a 
lot of respect for) to a brand new 486 with MS-DOS/Win 3.11, which was a big 
improvement. I've been using Windows ever since (Win 3.11 -> 95 -> 98 -> 
XP), so I guess Windows is just in my blood. The biggest troubles I have 
tend to be from open-source programs that consider targeting Cygwin or 
MSYS/MinGW to count as "supporting Windows".

I spent a year or two trying to use OSX as my primary system and while I was 
impressed at first, the more I used it the more I grew to hate both it and 
Apple (As a company, they're like MS but even worse). There a lot of nice 
things about Linux, and it keeps improving. And my secondary system is a 
Linux box.  But even though I hate Win7 (if I wanted my OS to be like OSX 
I'd still be using OSX - although it looks like 
"http://classicshell.sourceforge.net" might fix some of my Win7 complaints), 
Linux still isn't quite to the point where I'm ready to switch to it. I 
think one big part of it is that I've yet to find a file manager that I like 
as much as XP's Explorer. Dolphin's probably the best I've seen so far 
(beats the pants off of Nautilus), but there's still enough about it that 
bugs me. Not that Explorer doesn't have its problems, but "Better the devil 
you know".

I've never actually tried Classic Shell since my sister's computer is the 
only Win7 machine I ever have access to. But if actually works well, then 
all it would need for me to seriously consider upgrading from XP to Win7 
would be:

1. Fixes for the taskbar changes (ie, the first three bullet points on my 
super-whiny rant: 
http://www.semitwist.com/articles/article/view/why-i-refuse-to-upgrade-to-win7 )

2. XP-style open/save dialog boxes (which doesn't appear likely: 
http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/faq.html#explorer_saveas )

3. Maybe some de-unified back/forward buttons for Windows Explorer. (They 
sounded like a great idea when I first read about IE7, but after using IE7 
extensively to test my sites I found I really hated it. Heck, they're one of 
the reasons I use FF2 instead of FF3.)

4. And maybe some way to rip out the driver-revocation "feature" and the 
DRMed-AV-gets-reduced-in-quality-at-the-drop-of-a-hat "feature". (I know 
these might not be big issues in practice, but I don't trust anything on 
*my* system being completely at the discresion of corporations. Come to 
think of it, this is pretty much the same reason I've never trusted HDMI - 
one little fart and the whole thing *intentially* craps out. It's like the 
broadcast flag, except the FCC never even had the opportunity to say "Umm, 
no. Fuck that.")

If I did get Win7 and Classic Shell, I don't think there's a single thing on 
Classic Shell's Features page ( 
http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/features.html ) that I wouldn't use.

Oh man, don't get me started, I hate Windows 7 so much (I have to use it 
though, it's the least bad of all alternatives for me). And unlike you 
Nick it's less common for me to hate stuff, so this is a bit more 
significant :P
But the issue is exactly the same. Technically Windows 7 is good (speed 
and stability), but the UI (same as Vista) is horrid, and I'm embarked 
on a very difficult quest to make it look as close as possible as my 
previous classic XP setup. I am already using three OS add-ons: Classic 
Shell, as you mentioned above; "7 Taskbar Tweaker", a small util to help 
ungroup similar items in the Windows taskbar; and that dll fix to allow 
custom themes to be installed , plus the Luna theme for Windows 7 
(http://satukoro.deviantart.com/art/Luna-port-to-Windows-7-Aero-136960235) 
which unfortunately doesn't work entirely well.
But even with all this it is still only halfway to what I had before 
with XP, and I haven't found a way to fix the remaining functionality 
aspects :SSSSS

Man, I'd wish it was 10-20 years into a future where the successor of 
Android had become a viable and cool X86 OS... :P

Fortunately one can run MinGW on other platforms, even if compiling for
Windows. By using Wine, one doesn't even have to run it on Windows...


$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gdmd -m32 hello.d
$ wine hello.exe
Hello, World!

However, the 64-bit version of Wine doesn't work everywhere just yet
and the 64-version of Phobos for Windows had lots of issues as well.


So I didn't make a new prebuilt version for MinGW GCC 4.5.0 just yet...
(which is identical to FSF GCC 4.5.0 afaik, no MinGW patches necessary)

But the GCC 3.4.5* version is still on http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net/
Nobody volunteered to make a D2 version, and there's no GDC release yet.

* 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/BaseSystem/GCC/Version3/Current%20Release_%20gcc-3.4.5-20060117-3/



 Someone mentioned GDC on Win64. Someone has done it for D1, but I didn't bother

I made a GDC for Win64 MinGW during holidays, since I didn't want to
start the new year with the same old 32-bit compilers as in 2007...

http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/read.php?server=news.digitalmars.com&group=digitalmars.D&artnum=125675

It was able to run Hello World (Phobos), and Hello World (wxWidgets*)
but I didn't bother patching it more than that. And lucky I didn't!

* http://wxd.sourceforge.net/Hello.html


Once those two were running 64-bit on all three platforms, I stopped.

But I _could_ make a Win32 version of MinGW GCC 4.5.0* and DMD 1.064 ?

* 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/BaseSystem/GCC/Version4/gcc-4.5.0-1/

64-bit versions for Mac OS X 10.6 and Fedora 14 are already available.


To make a Win64 version, one need to change compiler from MinGW.org
to http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ but otherwise straight-forward:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Cross%20Win32%20and%20Win64%20compiler

 cc1d.exe crashed after an hour of building.
 Right, I'll stop trying now.


Mutters something about needing to compile gmp, mpfr (and probably mpc for 4.5)
before attempting to build gdc on Windows.

Maybe I'm just missing another step.

Do I have to apply the TDM-GCC patches over the GCC source downloaded
from http://gcc.cybermirror.org/releases/ ? The thing is, I can't find
the 3.4.5 release of TDM-GCC, which should have the patches:

	There should be a file named =E2=80=9Cconfig.log=E2=80=9D in =E2=80=9C/g=
dc/dev/build/gcc=E2=80=9D
with more information on the error.

I (think) these are the (roughly followed) instructions that got me passed that
very same memory error. https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/wiki/MinGWCompile

Never managed to build phobos though. Deduced that something was not quite right
with the build environment, but too useless at being a developer on Windows to
figure out just why..

I am getting somewhere though. GDC changeset 475, using GCC 4.5.0 with
applied TDM-GCC 4.5.0 patches, with built gmp, mpc and mpftr. The
Windows build documentation needs an update (I'll fix it myself given
the chance).

I've gotten build errors after:
make STAGE1_CFLAGS="-g3 -O0" 2>&1 | tee build.log

this time its Phobos:

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <http://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/issues> for instructions.
make[3]: *** [rt/fpmath.o] Error 1

I guess I should file a bug report with the full log.

If you are interested, this is the GCC I use (I use the binary versions, but
below there are sources too):

 Windows is a PITA, period.


Well, yes, maybe. But I doubt that Compiling GCC on Windows being a PITA 
is actually realted to Windows being a PITA, generally. Correct me if I 
am wrong.

	You're right, it is related to the autotools being a PITA...
