Hi There,

I've tried quite a few different ways of getting my first D program to compile - I finally got it going on the command line (Cygwin), but Code::Blocks just doesn't want to play ball. I've tried looking on a couple of the different FAQs around, but none of them seem to answer basic questions about common compiler problems. I know I know, once I get this working I should go update the wiki so that the next poor soul who comes along can have some assistance. I will try to get around to that!

OK, so I'm on WinXP. My two current ways of attempting a build are in Code::Blocks with the D modified binary (as indicated here: http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?EditorSupport#CodeBlocks) and also from the commandline in Cygwin, using Vim (which now comes with D syntax highlighting as standard - hoorah). I've got past a few errors (working out what needed to be where for some of the hardcoded relative paths to work, complaints about corrupted libraries etc.) but I'm left with this in Code::Blocks and I'm stuck:

Any ideas? I've checked the dmd.zip and dmc.zip archives are intact and they check out OK. I've also tried playing around with what libraries to link to, but that doesn't help. I'd quite like to get to use Code::Blocks, because though I love vi, I'm currently using an IDE for project work (Eclipse), and I just know my poor fingers will get confused if I keep switching between the two all the time!

Have I just completely missed the how to deal with libraries in code::blocks stuff or is it really obvious and I'm just being a clown? =)

Thanks in advance

Munch

PS It would be nice to use Eclipse for this, but I got a bit confused by all the different alternative plugins recommended/disrecommended on the main D newsgroup and the conflicting opinions about which ones were broken etc. If anybody has a definite answer on this and a link to go to to d/l the plugin, that would be great. Thanks!

PPS the successful build I get at the Cygwin command line looks very different when it executes (see below) - the link command is completely different to the one which Code::Blocks produces. I'm guessing this is something to do with the reason Code::Blocks isn't working?

I can see a couple of problems, probably unrelated to your IDE. File names with spaces are known to give the linker problems - try using a relative path instead or a DOS-style path. You might also need to link in kernel32.lib, user32.lib and uuid.lib.

Also, you don't have to link with phobos, as D does it automatically.

OK, thanks. We're getting somewhere. Code::Blocks automatically pulled in those libraries (including phobos) - they weren't specified by me. Having now deleted the list of directories from which Code::Blocks automatically pulls libraries in, and added each of the libraries you suggested by hand, I am no longer getting complaints about things being redefined. However, I still have errors (see below). Surpirsingly  these errors don't seem to be any different if I remove *all* the libraries!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Your problem is right in the first warning (I'd call it an error): phobos.lib can't be found by OPTLINK. Did you move/rename/delete it? Maybe you need to check your sc.ini to see if everything is ok.

Brilliant - thanks =) We're getting ever closer. There is no problem with the phobos lib or sc.ini - the build works fine from the command line, it's just from within Code::Blocks that I have the problem. I guess it's something to do with the way it calls the compiler? Anyway, I've now put the dmd/lib back into the Code::Blocks link path, and it's not complaining about not being able to see phobos.lib any more. We now have just three errors:

Since it's complaining about inconsistencies, I can't help wondering if this version of Code::Blocks, which was released some time ago now, is having some incompatibility problems with the latest compiler/library. That would be a shame cause I guess it would mean this is the end of the road. If anybody has any suggestions please shout!

Thanks

Is phobos.lib being linked in twice?  I can't make out what the link command line is doing. Nor does it show how dmd was called.  What are the dmd command line arguments?

-JJR

I don't know how Code::Blocks calls the compiler I'm afraid - it's not configurable. I think I'm going to give up on Code::Blocks now.
I've been getting on fine with Vim/Cygwin anyway, just get my
editor commands mixed up sometimes. I guess I'll perhaps investigate
the Eclipse plugins.

Thanks for you help though everybody =)

Cheers

Yesterday I made a nice way to snoop at the linker parameters:

Create a (on Windows) "link.bat", or (on Linux) "ld" (a shell script), that just prints out the parameters it got. Change your PATH so that the directory where this fake linker is, is first in PATH.

Or why not create the fake linker with D and have it print the parameters in an even nicer format! :-)

(Or for the _real_ lazy, copy hello.d from samples/d/, compile it and then rename it to "link.exe" or "ld".)

I had it write the results in a file. ("/tmp/ld.out")
