X86 COFF format static libraries is very important for  d,such as the x86 server, x86 small devices, and how to use them?
Most of x86 COFF format static libraries are built by c.

dmd -ms32coff ?

It's "-m32mscoff", but yeah, that's all you need to use with dmd.  You'll also need to recompile druntime and phobos, which I believe can be done for both with the following command:

make -fwin64.mak MODEL=32mscoff

win64.mak has the configuration to pull in MSVC and you need to specify the model so that it compiles for 32-bit.  Of course, this is only available in git HEAD, not in the stable release yet.  You can find info about building from source on Windows here:

http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD#Windows_2

Is it possible in new verson, offer 32 bit COFF druntime and phobos lib?
Because it's hard to me to compile for myself.

I've built the 'lib64'  it's ok,
make -fwin64.mak  for 'druntime and phobos'
but I've built the 'lib32mscoff'(druntime32mscoff.lib,gcstub32mscoff.obj,phobos32mscoff.lib)

 use 'make -fwin64.mak MODEL=32mscoff'

but get some errors:
this is my bat file info:

set lib=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\lib;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\atlmfc

\lib;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib;H:\D\dmd2\windows\libms32coff

dmd -c -release -m32mscoff a.d
link   a.obj  /machine:x86 /OUT:a.exe   druntime32mscoff.lib gcstub32mscoff.obj phobos32mscoff.lib

It works on vs2010:   %comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86

It can get the a.obj

dumpbin a.obj ,it's COFF type.

If use the x64,will get the error:

a.obj fatal error LNK1112:

will get the files: a.lib ,a.exp,and a.obj

Why?

Thank you.

I suspect you are compiling the druntime/phobos library with the 64-bit VC compiler. Make sure cl.exe is the compiler targeting 32-bit when running "make -fwin64.mak MODEL=m32mscoff".

> I suspect you are compiling the druntime/phobos library with the 64-bit VC compiler. Make sure cl.exe is the compiler targeting 32-bit when running "make -fwin64.mak MODEL=m32mscoff".

I've done it as you said:compiling the druntime/phobos library with the 64-bit VC compiler.and cl.exe is the   compiler.

OPEN:%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" amd64

set DM_HOME=h:\D
cd %DM_HOME%\dmd2\src\druntime
make -fwin64.mak MODEL=32mscoff

get the druntime32mscoff.lib and gcstub32mscoff.obj

do that on phobos,and get the phobos32mscoff.lib.

Then,I use it:

OPEN:%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86

set DM_HOME=h:\D
set path=%path%;%DM_HOME%\dmd2\windows\bin;
set lib=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\lib;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\atlmfc\lib;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib;h:\D\dmd2\windows\libms32coff

dmd -c  -m32mscoff a.d
link /machine:x86  a    User32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleAut32.lib gdi32.lib comctl32.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib uuid.lib ws2_32.lib  druntime32mscoff.lib gcstub32mscoff.obj phobos32mscoff.lib  /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:NO

but get the error as that ↑

Thank you.

You have to compile druntime and phobos with the x86 compiler aswell. Otherwise the C files in the library are built for the wrong architecture.

So you should be fine if you use "x86" intead of "amd64" in the line above.

Sorry,get the same error.

 will create a.lib and a.exp

Maybe you forgot to clean up the object files from the win64/win32-dmc build?

This is extracted from my build batch:

set dm_make=c:\l\dmc\bin\make
set DMD=../windows/bin/dmd.exe
set cl32=%VCINSTALLDIR%/bin/cl.exe
set ar32=%VCINSTALLDIR%/bin/lib.exe

cd druntime
del /q errno_c.obj complex.obj
%dm_make% -f win64.mak DMD=%DMD% MODEL=32mscoff "CC=\"%cl32%\""
if errorlevel 1 goto xit
cd ..

cd phobos
cd etc\c\zlib
%dm_make% -f win64.mak clean
cd ..\..\..
%dm_make% -f win64.mak DMD=%DMD% MODEL=32mscoff "CC=\"%cl32%\"" MAKE=%dm_make% "AR=\"%ar32%\""
if errorlevel 1 goto xit
cd ..

You might not need the CC and AR arguments to make if you use the VS2010 installation as expected by the makefiles.

[My mail program shows a line break in the last call to make, there should be no line break before "MAKE=%dm_make%".]
