I find in the above file a reference to phobos which possibly should not be there. The file is used as the unix choice default file for /etc/rebuild/default Or at least thats what I think happens. it has this in it [link] oneatatime=yes cmd=dmd -L--start-group -lphobos $i -of$o This is causing a conflict here and I have tried the following but something is still not right [link] oneatatime=yes cmd=dmd -L--start-group -L-ltango-base-dmd -L-ltango-user-dmd -L--end-group $i -of$o Can anybody spot the problem or the solution ? Is the phobos reference correct here? |

The advice here is for dwt... not dsss, not tango. If you get help with that, bonus for you.
Concerning the phobos entry in tango-posix-dmd, earlier versions of the compiled tango core library had to be renamed libphobos.a because of a compiler limitation. More recent versions of the dmd compiler added a switch that allowed one to identify a core library of a different name with the "-defaultlib" switch. So naming it phobos above was and still is a valid install, as long as you have actually installed tango this way.
Furthermore, you've shown in another post that there were problems that were completely unrelated to dwt but rather were due to faults in your installation and system. Throughout your many posts, you were wrong to assume that it was the fault of this forum or of the members that were trying to help. Your reactions of disgust and rudeness were also wrong. The fact that those who responded to your posts answered so graciously is quite amazing.

You will deny it to the last breath
The switch is wrong and must be changed --that means it is not right John !
Jesse's posts were ,as far as I looked into each answer, also wrong and misleading
the one relating to -lXdamage for instance. He made the statement "one problem leads to another "under his rant. That was wrong - the libraries wern't as they should be admittedly but the post was totally misleading .
If you can't stand criticism and constructive criticism at that then don't post

What I said there is that the switch has a reason for its existence. Depending on how you installed Tango, it is either correct or incorrect. Incidentally, it is correct for my tango installation because I still rename the tango lib as Phobos (I ran into problems when I used the "defaultlib" switch). So, your statement remains quite presumptuous and reactively dogmatic. > Jesse's posts were ,as far as I looked into each answer, also wrong and misleading > the one relating to -lXdamage for instance.

You appear to be responding quite poorly to constructive criticism. We both appear to like calling a spade a spade... but you appear to be entirely unreceptive, and, in fact, quite inflammatory to the merest suggestion that you might be wrong. Wouldn't we both get further with each other with more gracious responses? You know I've already admitted the shortcomings of dwt project instructions... we've gone out of our way to rectify the situation (thanks to Jacob's contribution we're moving in the right direction), so I'd say we have been moderately responsive to constructive criticism despite everybody's excessively busy schedules. -JJR |

Fair enough... you are not one to be reasoned with. I will no longer try.
