Hello,
I am trying to use rdmd to create shared object files.
The command that I am using is
rdmd --build-only -shared -fPIC -defaultlib= foo.d
This creates a file called foo - wich is not exactly what I
expectd.
However
dmd -shared -fPIC -defaultlib= foo.d
creates a file called foo.so - that is what i expect and need.
The command ill be actually using will be similar to this:
find ../script -name *.d -exec dmd -I../../deps/
-I../../source/ -fPIC -shared -debug -g -defaultlib= {} \;
The amount of files that will be compiled by this are really
likely going to increase over time, so using rdmd here would be
nice in terms of compile time.
The issues i have is that rdmd dosnt create .so files but (at
least on my linux) creates them without a file exenstion. I
could rename them with -of but that would increase this ugly
find-command even more. The second thing (wich isnt such a big
issue): I have to use --build-only for rdmd because it will
try to run the newly created shared object.
Also, not so on-topic to be asked here: Is there a nicer
solution for the all .d files in this directory and the ones
below?
I remeber its possible to do something like
dmd ./**/*.d
but I cant get that to work...
Thanks

I'm not quite sure why you're trying to use rdmd to build shared
object files... rdmd is designed to run programs, not to build
libraries. That's why it won't put a .so extension, it just
(AFAIK) isn't designed for shared libraries. So why are you
trying to use it instead of dmd?
Besides, extensive glob (the ./**/* thing) is shell dependant,
I'm not sure it is possible on bash, it may be zsh-only. You
could however do (assuming you're on an UNIX system) “ find .
-name *.d | xargs dmd your_options ” where “find” finds .d
files and xargs passes them as argument to dmd.
