Hi,

I know this may sound as a rather stupid question, but where is located DSSS
manual?
I can't find it!

Of course I looked for it here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/dsss.

Thank you, Luca.

Thank you Bill for your fastestthanlight reply!!
I think I've some sort of installation issue, but that document doesn't cover
dsss installation.
I've added dsss/bin to my PATH, but when I try to build something I get:

$ dsss build
Failed to determine DSSS' installed prefix.
$

Could you help me please?

Thanks you,

Luca.

You need to give dsss a place to install your program.

$ dsss --prefix=<prefix> build

I would suggest installing dsss to the system, do this from within the 
where you have dsss. Then you won't have to include prefix every time 
(though doing the above may only need to be done once)



Also when you do builds without root privilege you will get a message:

Can't write to /usr/local using ~/d

Just ignore it.

Thank you Jesse for your reply.

I'm sorry, I followed your instructions, but I didn't manage to make it work
properly.

None of these worked:

$ dsss --prefix=<prefix> build
Unrecognized argument: --prefix=-/build
(where ./build is, if I'm not wrong, the place where I want to install my
program)

neither

$ dsss build --prefix=./build
Failed to determine DSSS' installed prefix.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thank you,

Luca.

I forgot to say that I also tryied:

$ ./dsss install --prefix=/home/luca/workspace/

from the directory where dsss is located, but all I got was:

No config file found and no targets explicitly specified.

Argh!!!

Thx, Luca.

I don't think this actually has anything to do with the --prefix
argument.  The error says that DSSS can't figure out where it lives.

How did you install DSSS?  Where is it located, and how did you add it
to your path?

Hi Jarrett,

this is what I did:

$ mkdir ws
$ cd ws
$ wget http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dsss/downloads/0.78/dsss-0.78-x86-gnuWlinux.tar.bz2
$ tar xvvf tar xvvf dsss-0.78-x86-gnuWlinux.tar.bz2 
$ export PATH="~/ws/dsss-0.78-x86-gnuWlinux/bin:$PATH"

Thank you,

Luca.

AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

what I miss was:

$ mv dsss-0.78-x86-gnuWlinux dsss

now it works.

Thank you everybody!!

P.S.: now it works, but even with the simpliest helloworld I got a strange ld
error, damn!!!

Just to make sure this is a DSSS issue, it does compile with dmd correct? 
The ld error would be helpful. It could be that $LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't 
know where dsss/lib is.

Sorry it didn't help, I've never installed by changing the PATH. And your 
solution seems a little odd. As Jarrett said, DSSS couldn't find it's 
location and this I figured would be set up during the initial install.

Now the error is gone:

module main;        // <--- comment this and you get a ld error
import std.stdio;

int main(string[] args) {
    writefln("Hello world!");
    return 0;
}

But uhm... no.. it compiles only with gdc... i didn't figure out how to tell
dsss what compiler i want to use.
That environment variable doesn't seem to exist:

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

$

I'm sorry, maybe I have to install it in /usr/local/bin?
The dsss-site lacks a little installation section, I think.

Thank you,

To change the compiler, go to your dsss/etc/rebuild directory. you should 
see a list of files one of which is 'default' edit that file to what best 
represents your environment. When you look in there you should understand.
