Hiho,

a friend and me were trying to get the LDC2 compiler working on archlinux to compare benchmarks of the DMD and the LDC. The DMD compiler works, while the LDC2 compiler raises a certain error during compilation and stops:

Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file 'object.d'
       ldc2 might not be correctly installed.
       Please check your ldc2.conf configuration file.
       Installation instructions can be found at http://wiki.dlang.org/LDC.
import path[0] = /usr/include/dlang/ldc/ldc
import path[1] = /usr/include/dlang/ldc

Of course, we have reinstalled everything again, libphobos(-devel), ldc2, etc. and were looking into the conf file and also looked into the wiki about LDC, however, we were not able to get this working.

The errors pops up after the syntax checking phase and general parsing phase is over.

Is this a known bug, is the package broken or are we missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Robin

Robin, simply check whether you have druntime/phobos in those import paths.

pacman -S liblphobos-devel

Please use `pacman -Sy dlang-ldc` to install all necessary packages for typical ldc development.

You need different standard libraries for each compiler: e.g. liblphobos (ldc), libgphobos (gdc), libphobos (dmd)

As Dicebot says (and he should know, seeing as he maintains those packages), dlang-ldc will get you everything you need for ldc

Hiho,

thank you all for your answers.
Didn't know about the different libraries as well as the very nice dlang-ldc command.

Everything works now! =)
