The readme in the same directory where you got the binary package?

As Bill said, there's that text file, but if you're not all that familiar 
with Posix systems, it's not all that helpful either.  I ended up putting 
dsss in ~/dsss, so I ended up with ~/dsss/bin, etc.  Then I added ~/dsss/bin 
to my path, and everything is just great.

The problem is that there are four directories in the package: bin, etc, 
include and share.  And no instructions as to what they are for, how 
dsss will find the files it needs etc.  And I don't know too much about 
linux, so I don't want to mess with this until I have a good idea what 
I'm supposed to do.

bud requires just the executable in your path somewhere, but when trying 
to build it with itself on linux, I get an error about it not being able 
to find -lphobos.  Which is a bit odd.  Does anyone know if the second 
step of building bud is really needed?  It seems to work after just 
building it with the makefile, but if it can't find phobos...

You put them all in the same dir.  So you'll have

/home
    /torhu
        /dsss
            /bin
            /include
            /lib
            /share
            ...

And of course it has no instructions, it's written by a Linux nerd who 
assumes everyone else is a Linux nerd too.  :P

I've never been able to get bud to work correctly on Linux.  Could be that 
it's more than a year old, more likely that I'm a nob.

Thanks, that what was I was hoping it would be.

I got it built now, by adding "-L-Wl,-L/home/user/dev/dmd/lib" to 
build's command line.

I tried bud for a few things.  It seems that it doesn't hand the correct 
paths to gcc, so gcc doesn't find the object files that dmd just 
created.  So I guess it's better to use dsss/rebuild on linux until 
further notice.

I use the svn repository, but I do believe it's the same, just run from 
within the extracted directory, if you want to install to the system run 
as root.



I will explain why this works, dsss is designed to be used for compiling 
and installing D programs as you probably know. It uses a dsss.conf file 
to know how to do this. This file can be found there and thus you can run 
dsss to install itself.
