https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19684 Issue ID: 19684 Summary: DMD 2.085.0-beta.1: DMD cannot find dmd.conf if invoked via symlink (OSX) Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 OS: Mac OS X Status: NEW Severity: regression Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: jrdemail2000-dlang yahoo.com DMD cannot find its dmd.conf file when it is invoked via a symlink. The dmd.conf file is in the same directory as the dmd executable. If DMD is invoked via an absolute path then it finds the dmd.conf file. This is a change in behavior from 2.084.0. I've tried this only on OSX. Further explanation: I install DMD by retrieving the tar.xz file and unpacking it. Then I symlink the executable to ~/bin, which is in my path. This allows me to have multiple dmd versions installed simultaneously. As an example, I symlinked: ~/bin/dmd -> ~/devtools/dmd2-2.085.0-beta.1/osx/bin/dmd Now compiling a hello world app results in the following: ------------------ $ dmd helloworld.d Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file 'object.d' dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd -man' for installation instructions. config file: /etc/dmd.conf Specify path to file 'object.d' with -I switch ------------------ It's not an issue with PATH or home directory expansion. Invoking via an absolute path to the ~/bin/dmd symlink results in the same behavior. However, using a direct path to the executable with no symlinks works fine: ------------------ $ ~/devtools/dmd2-2.085.0-beta.1/osx/bin/dmd helloworld.d $ ./helloworld Hello World! ------------------ I looked through recent PRs and saw one candidate: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/9261. --
