Hi,
I'm trying to use dub to compile a quick experiment that uses
Deimos libclang bindings, which of course requires linking
against an installed libclang. I believe this is what I need to
include in dub.json:
"systemDependencies": "libclang-6.0"
But it just won't link against the lib in the compilation
process. Using the -v option reveals the linking stage call:
/usr/bin/dmd
-of.dub/build/application-debug-linux.posix-x86_64-dmd_2081-7C29937BC9011750CFA15D7325224156/damnc .dub/build/application-debug-linux.posix-x86_64-dmd_2081-7C29937BC9011750CFA15D7325224156/damnc.o -L--no-as-needed -g
It does not mention libclang at all. I've tried with all
"clang", "libclang-6.0.so.1", but I just don't seem to be able
to make it work. Would anyone mind helping me out?
BTW, I am aware Deimos bindings for libclang are based on v3.7
and not 6.0, but 3.7 is not available for Ubuntu 18.04 and I
was wagering the interface probably hasn't changed much.
Hm, the description sounds like it might not be used for passing
linker arguments, but serves for adding documentation to linker
errors:
"A textual description of the required system dependencies
(external C libraries)
required by the package. This will be visible on the registry
and will be
displayed in case of linker errors - this setting does not
support platform
suffixes".
What about the "libs" build settings (or "lflags")?
(http://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=json)
"libs": "clang"
