Hello,

after some coding i needed to update some external libraries like
DerelictSDL2. As we all know, one update isn't enough, so i
updated my whole d-environment at the end of the day (current dmd
version, VisualD).

After getting rid of some linking errors (symbols undefined) i
have only one error left:
Optlink:
Error 45: Too Much DEBUG Data for Old CodeView format

i googled, but really can't figure out what this error is about.

You can refer to
http://forum.dlang.org/post/jhbgaacoguxaubxgpeuk@forum.dlang.org

Do you use dub?
I resolved my problems (on Win) abandoning dub
and using makefile.

but i don't want to throw in the towel. ;)
Compiling in release mode works fine, yes.

i used dub to create the Derelicts .lib files. My VisualD project use this dmd command:

"$(VisualDInstallDir)pipedmd.exe" dmd -g -debug -X -Xf"$(IntDir)\$(TargetName).json" -IC:\_projekte\D\Workspace\Derelict3-Updated\import -deps="$(OutDir)\$(ProjectName).dep" -of"$(OutDir)\$(ProjectName).exe" -map "$(INTDIR)\$(SAFEPROJECTNAME).map" -L/NOMAP C:\_projekte\D\Workspace\Derelict3-Updated\DerelictUtil\lib\DerelictUtil.lib C:\_projekte\D\Workspace\Derelict3-Updated\DerelictSDL2\lib\DerelictSDL2.lib C:\_projekte\D\Workspace\Derelict3-Updated\DerelictGL3\lib\DerelictGL3.lib C:\_projekte\D\Workspace\Derelict3-Updated\DerelictAl\lib\DerelictAL.lib C:\_projekte\D\Workspace\Derelict3-Updated\DerelictFt\lib\DerelictFT.lib -L/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS

Just save yourself lots of headaches and abandon the optlink/omf crap with -m64 resp. -m32mscoff.

thank you.

After some reading about m32mscoff, i have to recompile druntime and phobos with MODEL=32mscoff to use the new switch?

This is due to a high amount of symbols in your code.

I fixed this almost a year ago in the optlink repository:

https://github.com/DigitalMars/optlink/pull/15

You should be able to download it on the digitalmars.com website under:

Digital Mars C/C++ Compiler Version 8.57 (3662658 bytes)

The link.exe file in the bin folder is up-to-date.

thank you Etienne, after i replaced dmd's link.exe my project compiles successfully in debug-mode again.

i'll add this info in my "todo-after-installing-DMD.txt" just in case.

Maybe this should be distributed in the DMD installer?
