I've followed the instructions at https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_under_Posix to build posix on Win32 using wine (awesome possum!). It works great for building dmd and then druntime. However when I try to build phobos I get the odd errors pasted below. Any ideas on why that is happening? Thanks! -- Andrei

It is unclear what you're trying to do, why would you build the Posix versions of D under Wine?  I ran the Windows version of D under Wine around 7 years ago and didn't have a problem, though I don't think I ran the tests.

Was trying to repro the win32 errors in https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/5472 without installing windows. I was building the win32, not the posix binaries. -- Andrei

i bet you forgot to pass DMD to make. both druntime and phobos should be built with:

	wine make DMD=../dmd/src/dmd.exe -fwin32.mak

where DMD=... is the path to dmd.exe you just built at the first step.

wiki is severely incomplete and outdated.

Probably not the problem. I've added the path to Path in the registry and dmd is found fine - it does compile certain files.

The wine guide has been created by Razvan Nitu, my student, two weeks ago.


Thanks,

..so be it. if you said that it is not a problem, than it is not a problem. sorry for helping.

Did you actually try it? Might as well rule it out.

I find building on Windows (including with wine) is an absolute mess. Have to edit the makefile and it git clones something into ../..???? WTF.

looks like a druntime/phobos mismatch.

I did, but had a typo. Yay, it worked. Thanks ketmar. I'll add the info to the wiki.

Yah, I also found it odd that dmd's make tries to execute git (I don't have it installed for Windows). The build does succeed though.

Well, that looks bad, and it really should be working better than that, but I would point out that (at least, the last time I checked), wine does not behave correctly with regards to some of the date/time stuff, so some of the std.datetime tests will fail with wine, and fixing that requires that wine start behaving like Windows like it's supposed to. So, best case, at least some Phobos tests will fail under wine, but it _should_ work to at least build and use dmd and Phobos under wine. It just will have some of the issues that you typically get running windows applications under wine. I haven't done it in years though, so I have no idea how up-to-date those instructions are.
