Thanks. Unfortunately I can't test this because the Linux build script for
Phobos
is broken on my machine in some inscrutable way. Frankly, my success rate at
building stuff from other people's make files is well under 50%. Make is just a
horrible technology that needs to die a horrible death. We should be eating our
own dogfood and using rdmd for build scripts.
Here's the error message I'm getting. I know basically nothing about make
except
that it's a build system and that it almost never works, so I can't even begin
to
debug this. Here's the error message I've been getting, on a freshly unpacked
2.047 directory on some ancient Linux distro that my sys admin insists on
using:
$ make -flinux.mak
make --no-print-directory -f OS=posix BUILD=release
make[1]: OS=posix: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `OS=posix'. Stop.
make: *** [release] Error 2
And here's the error I get when I try on a different machine w/ a more modern
distro (this one is probably due to lack of 64 bit libs):
$ make -flinux.mak
make --no-print-directory -f linux.mak OS=posix BUILD=release
