digitalmars.D.dwt - dwt type=sourcelibrary

I changed the dsss.conf files in some ways.

dwt-win,dwt-linux,dwt-addons
type=sourcelibrary

This will no more build a static library, and the source are no more 
copied as .di file. Instead the sources are installed as .d files. On 
application build, then everything is compiled.

I do this in the hope that it will simplify the setup.

dwt-win install has now a call to curl to download/extract/install the 
import libraries.

dwt-addons installs now the content of the 'res' folder (images,..) into 
dsss $LIB_PREFIX/res and dwt-samples has the -J$LIB_PREFIX/res added.

I hope, that in some day, one can download dsss, and do some dsss net 
install calls to have a complete working dmd/tango/dwt environment.

Please let me know, how it works for you.

I think that's a good idea. At least until DWT settles down more. I was thinking to suggest it myself.

Does dwt-win install it's res too?

Bill are you getting a slowdown in compile time with this. It takes my computer some time to compile the library, even with oneatatime off. (actually seems longer than before). Frank is thinking of switching it back because of this, but if I'm the only one with this problem I can just compile it to a library myself.

I wonder what the status of dsss is? dmd 1.029 added a new switch "- ignore" (which was requested by Gregor a couple of months ago). Does this mean that Gregor will be redisigning a simpler/faster dsss/rebulid that uses dmd verbose (and ditches the dmd frontend)? Hoping we will see something soon. :) -JJR

I did the change to sourcelib to simplify the setup and remove the need to rebuild a lib on dwt update. I use neither of this. I just add the include path with -I at the dsss commandline. Probably its better to change back to type=lib, what do you think?

Maybe it would be best to keep it simple and encourage people to just use -I as you do. It seems that taking more steps to use type=lib or type=sourcelib is one of complicated, error-prone or problematic (because both require pre-build and install phases; this may further require a uninstall phase if dwt users have had a previous version of dwt active with dsss; dsss' lack of versioning makes this even more of a problem). Oh... and has anybody tried using bud with dwt recently? What kind of speed difference is there (between bud and dsss). I recall bobef gave this a shot earlier. We should also give Tango's "jake" a try as well. :) -JJR

Small correction: type=sourcelib isn't necessarily complicated nor does it use a pre-build, but does require a dsss install phase. Like you say Frank, it may just be easier to use the -I flag for now. But, my original point was that if dsss gets an efficiency and speed increase with it's next update, then we may be able to move back to lib or sourcelib types. Software/Library version control would also be a good addition to dsss. -JJR

With type=sourcelibrary, you're not supposed to be building a dwt library at all. Or do you mean building some other library? I didn't notice any particularly large slowdown compiling apps. --bb

Yes, but I have to build the pieces of the library I'm using, which would be more than if I just had to link them in. But I agree with John, waiting to see what Gregor Will do with dsss might be good.

Did you use Frank's oneatatime hack? That causes things to be missing sometimes. If you get one of those errors you have to rebuild with -full. --bb
