digitalmars.D - Using DMD2 on Ubuntu 9.04 x64?

reply Trip Volpe <mraccident gmail.com> writes:
I installed the DMD2 compiler as per the instructions here:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-linux.html

After tweaking the conf file to get it actually working, I tried compiling a
simple "hello, world" program. This was the result:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.3/../../../libpthread.so when searching for
-lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible

-lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libpthread.a when searching for
-lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1

Okay, so I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that the DMD
compiler is 32-bit only, right? I already had to install the 32-bit version of
libstdc++ 6 to get it to run in the first place. Does this mean that I need a
32-bit version of the pthread dev libraries? If so, I can't find one in
Synaptic. Is there some other place I can find such a thing?

Has anybody else managed to get DMD2 up and running on Ubuntu? It _is_
possible, right?

Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't gotten into D2 yet, but D1 (DMD) works fine on Ubuntu 9.04 for me.

Hm, just tried DMD 1.0, same exact result. Do you have a 32-bit installation of
Ubuntu?

Try the gdc-4.1 package. Its an old ass dmd-fe, but still works well and 
is no hassle to install.

Here's what I use on Ubuntu 64:

  sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib libc6-i386 lib6-dev-i386
  sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
  sudo apt-get install g++-multilib

That definitely belongs on the installation notes webpage.

That last one is missing a 'c': libc6-dev-i386


  sudo apt-get install g++-multilib



The commands Walter mention will install the most basic libraries -- the 
ones you need if you're just going to use Phobos and other 'native D' 
libraries.

Another tip is that the 'ia32-libs' package contain 32-bit versions of a 
bunch of libraries (GTK, ALSA, X11, and a *lot* more). Also, try 
searching for packages with names starting with lib32, there are quite a 
few of those as well.

Walter,

Are we still just talking just AMD 64 here? Last time I tried to install the
.deb package, the system told m that my Intel core2 64 bit machine was the
wrong architecture.

Thanks

Yes, I have an AMD64. How that would differ as far as dev tool 
installation from Intel, I have no idea. I'm not even sure what the 
packages I listed actually install - I just tried them (based on web 
search inquiries) and they work.

Possibly related, I filed this issue last year:

Sorry Walter, I got my question wrong - probably too late in the day. I guess
what I'm asking really is will there be a 32 bit version of D for Ubuntu in the
near future, and if so, will it be D2, or D1, or both?

32-bit D on 32-bit Ubuntu works. 32-bit D on 64-bit Ubuntu is more 
problematic (requires the extra packages just discussed). 64-bit D on 
64-bit Ubuntu does not exist. 64-bit D on 32-bit Ubuntu may or may not 
exist, but anyway it doesn't work. :o)

64 bit D on amd64 has been reported to work very well with LDC and GDC.
I'm not sure what you mean by 64 bit on 32 bits.

Intel 64 is AMD64. Intel dropped their 64-bit implementation, EM64T,
after AMD won. The required packages are the same for both systems.

The deb package is stated to be i386, which is not AMD64. You can force
the installation by using:

    dpkg --force-architecture -i dmd.1.043.deb

That's bullshit, but I guess it doesn't matter, because most software 
uses the compatible subset of both versions.

Yes, there are differences, but the fact remains that Intel had to develop its
implementation to mimic AMD64[1].

Yes, but EM64T _was_ AMD64. That part of your post was wrong. It was 
Itanium they dropped.

I don't think the differences between AMD's AMD64 and Intel's clone of 
AMD64 are any more significant than the differences between AMD and 
Intel for 32 bit. Obviously Intel marketing refuses to call it AMD64, 
but that's what it is. You could call it x86-64 to avoid that issue, but 
I don't think anyone should ever use the term "Intel64" unless they work 
for Intel.

Ok, I'll admit that I thought it was called ia-64 but couldn't find a
reference to it so grabbed EM64T because it looked close. I
guess what I was thinking of was ia-32e though.

Yes it is possible and you don't even have to mess about with chroot. I

DFLAGS=-I% P%/../../src/phobos -I% P%/../../src/druntime/import

I think the important bits are -L-L/lib32 and -L-L/usr/lib32, the other 
three arguments are peculiarities of my set up.
