Re: Still cannot build Phobos from git

[Andrej Mitrovic]

I think DM make is only used on Windows, and GNU make is used on
Linux. Just compare the win32 makefile to the Posix makefile, it's a
world of a difference.

Just as you, I'm not a big fan of JS. But I learn what pages that I use 
that need JS to work properly and enable it for them.



Of course, in this case, I did actually read what was on the pop-in before

On the PC I'm working now, there were no git installed, so I decided to
grab the latest tarballs:
D-Programming-Language-dmd-v2.054-211-g1dac08b.tar.gz
D-Programming-Language-druntime-v2.054-28-gd14a1a9.tar.gz
D-Programming-Language-phobos-v2.054-119-gcd5d266.tar.gz

Anyway, these were what I did:
1. Extracted the latest release (dmd.2.054.zip) to C:\dmd2-dev. There
were also C:\dmd2, and C:\dm (the Digital Mars C compiler).

2. set PATH=C:\dm\bin

3. cd C:\dmd2-dev\src\dmd.

4. Verified whether DMC worked properly or not, by building DMD:
make -f win32.mak release

The output was:

...
...

make -fwin32.mak C=backend TK=tk ROOT=root clean
del *.obj
del total.sym
del msgs.h msgs.c
del elxxx.c cdxxx.c optab.c debtab.c fltables.c tytab.c
del impcnvtab.c

It was a success.

5. Deleted all the contents of C:\dmd2-dev\src\dmd, and replaced it with
the latest version (from the tarball), and build it again:
\dm\bin\dmc -c -Ibackend;tk -DMARS -cpp  -e -wx -I. backend\var

\dm\bin\dmc -c -Ibackend;tk -DMARS -cpp  -e -wx backend\el

\dm\bin\dmc -c -Ibackend;tk -DMARS -cpp  -e -wx backend\newman
Fatal error: unable to open input file 'parser.h'
--- errorlevel 1

Hmm unable to open parser.h?
I checked C:\dmd2-dev\src\dmd\backend. Yep, no parser.h there (someone
forgot to commit it)?
So I cleared C:\dmd2-dev\src\dmd\ again. First extracted the original
one from the latest release (2.054), then replaced it with the latest
from git, and built it again:
\dm\bin\dmc -c -Ibackend;tk -DMARS -cpp  -e -wx -I. backend\var

\dm\bin\dmc -c -Ibackend;tk -DMARS -cpp  -e -wx backend\el

\dm\bin\dmc -c -Ibackend;tk -DMARS -cpp  -e -wx backend\newman
void
   ^
backend\parser.h(215) : Error: ';' expected following declaration of
struct member
--- errorlevel 1

At least the error was different. I did a quick glance on
C:\dmd2-dev\src\dmd\backend\parser.h around line 215, and found these
lines:

TARGET_structBLKLST

void print();

What is this TARGET_structBLKLST?

Really? I see "Download Source" (which downloads from master), then
"Download Packages" which lists the releases.

It isn't working for me at the moment, but try
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/zipball/master
This is from the Downloads button on a respository, and it gets you the
latest revision in a zip file.

The next step would be forking dmd repo and making a pull request, they

I don't suggest automating anything against that page.  It's subject to change

I don't intend to consider it a stable api of any sort.

Re: Still cannot build Phobos from git

[Dmitry Olshansky]

My recipe on Windows:
1. Get the latest release zip you can find, unzip to some drive root(! 
otherwise get's trickier)

2. Delete all within src subfolder
3. Get a Git console in \dmd2\src, then the usual:
git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd.git
git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime.git
git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos.git
4. Build dmd
cd dmd\src
make -f win32.mak release
copy dmd.exe ..\..\..\windows\bin
cd ..
(to build dmd you'd need DMC, also extracted to the same drive root)
5.
cd druntime
make -f win32.mak

6.
cd phobos
make -f win32.mak unittest
copy phobos.lib ..\..\windows\lib

If anywhere of the above it fails to find dmd, make sure 
dmd2\windows\bin is in your path.

That's it, no additional tweaking required.

As long as it works. When implementing it, just a suggestion: don't pull 
in a git library or similar, just download the zip archive containing 
the latest sources from github.

As Nick points out, you also have to have an sc.ini in the right place with
the right values and probably some other stuff that comes in the zip file but
isn't in git for whatever reason. But I haven't dealt with all of that in
Windows recently, so I don't remember the details. It's easier in Linux from
what I recall, but regardless, once it's set up all you have to do is update
the repositories and rebuild, and it works (though in Windows, you'll probably
have to copy the resultant dmd binary due to the lack of symlinks). The
situation with git should probably be improved though such that you can build
the whole chain with just what git gives you.

I think someone mentioned that github supports some kind of wrapper 
projects/repositories. When you clone it, it will clone all the 
repositories it wraps. No need to figure out where to clone a given 
repository in your system. Then you can have a build script in the 
wrapper repository that builds everything and sets up a dmd.conf/sc.ini.

I'm going to write an automated way to do it. Probably put it into DVM if

But here's the notes I have so far (short answer: you're probably missing
sc.ini and all the .libs, those files aren't included in git for some
reason):

A batch file would be difficult! I don't know how you'd patch sc.ini and
dmd\src\win32.mak (Well, unless you required GNU patch to be installed).


My idea is to create and maintain a new DMD installation from scratch, so  
it's not a problem.
