Thanks for testing! By the way, how did you apply the patches? You might need to set an -l option to deal with recent newline changes in dmd source: .../dmd2/src/dmd/src% patch -l -p2 < 4191.patch .../dmd2/src/dmd/src% patch -l -p1 < 4198.patch > When compiling dmd, the linker complains about missing C++ symbols. > Changing the linker from gcc to g++ in freebsd.mak seemed to solve > the problem. Hmm... that's strange. I haven't got such an error. I'm sorry but I can't tell what's going wrong. I could build dmd 2.047 as follows: -------------------- % mkdir 2.047 % cd 2.047 % fetch http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.047.zip % unzip dmd.2.047.zip % cd dmd2/src/dmd/src % fetch -o 4191.patch 'http://d.puremagic.com/issues/attachment.cgi?id=629' % fetch -o 4198.patch 'http://d.puremagic.com/issues/attachment.cgi?id=632' % patch -l -p2 < 4191.patch % patch -l -p1 < 4198.patch % gmake -f freebsd.mak % cp dmd ~/bin -------------------- Compiler is gcc 4.2.1 on FreeBSD/i386 8-STABLE. Does this work for you? > When compiling druntime, a static assertion triggers during linking: > > src/rt/llmath.d(286): Error: static assert (0x1p+63L == 0x1p+52L) is false > gmake: *** [lib/libdruntime.a] Error 1 I'm not sure, but you might be using a non-patched version accidentally. Have you copied the newly-built dmd executable to, for example, ~/bin? I built druntime with the patched dmd 2.047: -------------------- % cd 2.047/dmd2/src/druntime % fetch -o 3528.patch 'http://d.puremagic.com/issues/attachment.cgi?id=703' % patch -l -p0 < 3528.patch % gmake -f posix.mak -------------------- > Finally I was unable to compile phobos, as I encountered errors in > different modules, including references to freebsd related files that > aren't in the zip I downloaded. The following file is not in the release zip. Please download it: http://svn.dsource.org/projects/phobos/trunk/phobos/std/c/freebsd/socket.d And here's a quick-hacked FreeBSD makefile that I use: http://gist.github.com/508638 I could build Phobos with the following command lines: -------------------- % cd 2.047/dmd2/src/phobos % mkdir std/c/freebsd % fetch -o std/c/freebsd/socket.d 'http://svn.dsource.org/projects/phobos/trunk/phobos/std/c/freebsd/socket.d' % fetch -o my-freebsd.mak 'http://gist.github.com/raw/508638/b4f85e2de4f41a22a09fb895aa48b7a62fefb71e/my-freebsd.mak' % gmake -f my-freebsd.mak -------------------- > Am I supposed to use a different version of the compiler/libraries ? The patches should be valid for recent few releases including 2.047. I may be wrong though... > If so, is it publicly available ? Compiler and libraries are under open source. :-) http://www.dsource.org/projects/dmd/ http://www.dsource.org/projects/druntime/ http://www.dsource.org/projects/phobos/ I'm tracking these repositories with git-svn.
