I found the solution on the net. Apparently I need to add -L-lrt to the flags.

Probably this should be documented somewhere...

More like it needs to be fixed in the default dmd.conf. This will be broken for everyone on Linux if it's not in there.

And while we're at it... that should be .dmdconf, not dmd.conf. It's time to polish all aspects of the installation.

Only when it's a file in the users home dir, which isn't how we ship it.  I find it much nicer as a file in the same dir as the executable.  This makes it very easy to switch between binaries.

I do like the suggestion of adding $HOME/.dmd.conf (or some variation there on) to the list of files searched for.  But auto-creating one there?  not so much.

I think that Andrei meant that it should be rename .dmd.conf where it currently is. Being able to but it in $HOME would be great as well, but that would be in addition to renaming it. I believe that there's a feature request open for that (having it in $HOME) at the moment, and IIRC it even had a patch to do it. However, renaming it doesn't have to be related to allowing it in $HOME.

Agreed.

I've never liked the configuration files being hidden. It's freaking annoying.

BTW, the Windows convention is to store your configuration in the system registry. We do not do that. Nobody has yet complained about this (in the entire history of dmd and dmc). In fact, they /*like*/ that dmc/dmd do not put settings in the system registry.

It doesn't quite matter what you and I like or not. Everybody on Unix does it that way ever since .profile. The presence of dmd.conf has "these morons think they're special" written all over it. So please let's not be gratuitously strident.

The registry sucks. Most users hate it, and many applications are refusing to use it. It's definitely not a good comparison.

If the file is in $HOME, and sometimes if in the current working directory.

program.conf is common if the file resides in its own directory (including dot directories under home) or /etc.

The website lists these locations:

1.current working directory
2.directory specified by the HOME environment variable
3.directory dmd resides in
4./etc/

(1) and (2) might be renamed, but (3) and (4) certainly shouldn't be.

Correct. That's what I've always meant: only hide the file in $HOME.
