Hello,
I would like to use D on SmartOS.
Since there is no binary installer I tried to build DMD from
source by
following the instructions on this page;
http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD
Unfortunately I get this error;
[~/d/dmd/src]# make -f posix.mak MODEL=64
no cpu specified, assuming X86
dmd idgen.d
make: dmd: Command not found
posix.mak:320: recipe for target 'idgen' failed
make: *** [idgen] Error 127
dmd git HEAD requires a host D compiler to build dmd because it's
moving files from C++ to D, ie the compiler is becoming
self-hosted. This is a problem for new platforms like SmartOS,
as dmd doesn't really support cross-compiling yet. However, you
can roll back to the last release branch, 2.067, and try
compiling that on SmartOS with just a C++ compiler. Of course,
the Solaris support in dmd/druntime/phobos is not really tested,
so you may need to fill in some gaps for SmartOS.
