It's my first foray into the arcana of makefiles and command line
compiling.
My makefile looks like this:
IMPORT = -IC:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\import
LIB_PATHS = -LC:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\lib
LIB_INCLUDES = DerelictSDL.lib DerelictGL.lib DerelictUtil.lib
all:
dmd src/main.d src/display.d src/renderdata.d src/vector2d.d\
$(IMPORT) $(LIB_PATHS) $(LIB_INCLUDES)
I think I just don't know how to give the compiler what it wants. I can
build it manually by simply including the full paths to each of those
libraries, but I'd rather avoid having to do that unless necessary. Is
there something I'm just missing?
build.bat:
@echo off
rdmd --build-only -ofmyApp -IC:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\import
-L+C:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\lib\
DerelictSDL.lib DerelictGL.lib DerelictUtil.lib DerelictGLU.lib
src/main.d
Note:
1. After the "@echo off", that's supposed to be one line.
2. "rdmd" instead of "dmd"
3. Only one ".d" file is given: The one with main()
4. The ".d" file is the *last* param.
Or to make it a little cleaner:
@echo off
IMPORT = -IC:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\import
LIB_PATHS = -L+C:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\lib\
LIB_INCLUDES = DerelictSDL.lib DerelictGL.lib DerelictUtil.lib
DerelictGLU.lib
EXE_NAME = myApp
rdmd --build-only -of%EXE_NAME% %IMPORT% %LIB_PATHS% %LIB_INCLUDES%
src/main.d
Of course, you can use rdmd with make too, but I've never really liked
dealing with make.
Very cool, thanks for going to all the trouble. It only takes the one
souce file, does rdmd build out other files automatically?
What rdmd does is takes the file with "main()", figures out all the ".d"
files needed, checks if any of them have been changed, and if so, it sends
them all to dmd to be compiled. If you omit the "--build-only" it will also
run the program you built. The full format for rdmd is:
rdmd {params for dmd and rdmd} main.d {params for main.exe}
So if you have:
//main.d
import std.stdio;
void main(string[] args)
{
writeln("Hello", args[1]);
}
Then you can do this:
rdmd main.d Joe
Hello Joe
It's an awesome tool. You can run just "rdmd" by itself to see all it's
options.
Be aware though, rdmd has some issues if you're not using at least DMD
2.055.
Hmm, looks like it would be awesome, unfortunately it spits out a bunch
of "previous definition different" errors on the linker, in relation to
the libraries. Oh well, I seem to be able to get it working with dmd for
now.
