Hi folks!

I'm trying to recompile Phobos to work with curl under Win7 as described here: digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=161483

As far as I understand, I need to build druntime before building phobos, because phobos depends on druntime's libraries. So I make the following:
> cd dmd2\src\druntime
> make -f win32.mak unittest
and get an error:
> Error: don't know how to make 'src\unittest.d'

There is no such file dmd2\src\druntime\src\unittest.d. Could you please help me to resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your advice, it's really appreciated.

This should work:

make -f win32.mak

Personally, I've never built unittest for druntime.

I've already gave this a try. I managed to get phobos built without unittests but I can't built my program with new phobos.lib. An error message is as follows:

OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 8.00.12
Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989-2010  All rights reserved.
http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/optlink.html
D:\UserFiles\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\lib\phobos.lib(file)

D:\UserFiles\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\lib\phobos.lib(file)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D3std10__fileinit12__ModuleInfoZ
--- errorlevel 2

I have commented out all the code related with curl, so it is not because of curl . It looks like my new phobos.lib is somehow bad.
I have no idea what does this error mean. Google didn't help. So I was trying to use unittests to find out what's wrong.

This is a linker error, it can't find phobos.lib.

You can pass phobos2.lib on the commandline, I don't know the linker flags for optlink to find it. sc.ini is the configuration for it though.

Don't forget to place new phobos.lib to dmd2\windows\lib as you are on win32.

Thank you for the answers.
Unfortunately, the program compiles correctly with the original
phobos.lib in dmd2\windows\lib, but does not compile with the new
one in the same directory.

Thank you very much! Problem is solved, curl works great!
