Just trying to compile a "Hello World" using dub and ldc2. The 32 bit works fine:

generic@generic-ThinkPad-T61:~/Desktop/test$ dub run --compiler=ldc2 --arch=x86
Performing "debug" build using ldc2 for x86.
test ~master: target for configuration "application" is up to date.
To force a rebuild of up-to-date targets, run again with --force.
Running ./test
hello there

But all hell breaks out when I try a 64 bit build. I've got a 64 bit cpu and 64 bit Xubuntu so I thought, if I was going to get errors, it would be the previous case.


generic@generic-ThinkPad-T61:~/Desktop/test$ dub run --compiler=ldc2 --arch=x86_64
Performing "debug" build using ldc2 for x86_64.
test ~master: building configuration "application"...

Let's start from the beginning: how did you install LDC?  I presume from your command line you're running Windows?

... I don't know where I got that idea from.  Must be having a distracted day.

What OS/distro are you running, in any case?

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I just reinstalled everything and it's all good.  Something was really screwed up.

"Screwed up" is also a fairly good way to describe my responses too, since I also missed your clear statement that you were using Xubuntu.  I think I was having One Of Those Days ... :-)

The thought in my mind was that maybe you'd somehow installed a 32-bit LDC (which would probably still run all right on your 64-bit Xubuntu), and this could be the reason for the x86_64 build issues.  But I honestly couldn't say just on the basis of what's in your post.

Anyway, glad to hear you got things sorted.
