When I use -ll, I get and unrecognized switch error.

C:\gld>rebuild -llgld -llopengl32 -llglu32 -llwin32 -llgdi32 -llwinmm -version=WindowsXP -Isource -I..\gl\imports -I..\win32\imports -Iimports -oftriangle.exe -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0 source\examples\triangle.d
Error: unrecognized switch '-llgld'
Error: unrecognized switch '-llgld'

C:\gld>rebuild
ReBuild version 0.2 (based on DMD 1.005)
...

How do you use -L to link in the library?


Here is the DMD command I'm trying to convert to rebuild.

dmd gld.lib ..\gl\opengl32.lib ..\gl\glu32.lib ..\win32\win32.lib ..\win32\gdi32.lib ..\win32\winmm.lib -version=WindowsXP -Isource -I..\gl\imports -I..\win32\imports -Iimports -oftriangle.exe -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0 source\examples\triangle.d


When I simply replace dmd with rebuild -v, it prints the link message below, which doesn't contain any of the libs.

rebuild -v gld.lib ..\gl\opengl32.lib ..\gl\glu32.lib ..\win32\win32.lib ..\win32\gdi32.lib ..\win32\winmm.lib -version=WindowsXP -Isource -I..\gl\imports -I..\win32\imports -Iimports -oftriangle.exe -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0 source\examples\triangle.d

link      dmd .\triangle.obj .\gld.obj .\gld_-internal.obj .\gld_-win32-platform.obj .\gld_-win32-window.obj .\gld_-enable.obj .\gld_-win32-fullscreen.obj .\gld_-win32-enable.obj .\gld_-win32-init.obj .\gld_-win32-time.obj .\gld_-win32-glext.obj .\gld_-win32-thread.obj .\gld_-win32-joystick.obj .\gld_-glext.obj .\gld_-image.obj .\gld_-stream.obj .\gld_-window.obj .\gld_-tga.obj .\gld_-thread.obj  -oftriangle.exe -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0


If I use -L on the first library "gld.lib", it produces an link error "OPTLINK : Warning 9: Unknown Option : NOIGLD.LIB"

rebuild -v -Lgld.lib ..\gl\opengl32.lib ..\gl\glu32.lib ..\win32\win32.lib ..\win32\gdi32.lib ..\win32\winmm.lib -version=WindowsXP -Isource -I..\gl\imports -I..\win32\imports -Iimports -oftriangle.exe -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0 source\examples\triangle.d

link      dmd .\triangle.obj .\gld.obj .\gld_-internal.obj .\gld_-win32-platform.obj .\gld_-win32-window.obj .\gld_-enable.obj .\gld_-win32-fullscreen.obj .\gld_-win32-enable.obj .\gld_-win32-init.obj .\gld_-win32-time.obj .\gld_-win32-glext.obj .\gld_-win32-thread.obj .\gld_-win32-joystick.obj .\gld_-glext.obj .\gld_-image.obj .\gld_-stream.obj .\gld_-window.obj .\gld_-tga.obj .\gld_-thread.obj  -oftriangle.exe -Lgld.lib -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0


I would recommend making it work as similar as DMD as possible. With DMD, I just list the libraries along with the source and object files.

The idea was to make it as close to DMD as possible. I didn't realize people were linking libraries like this.

PS: Rebuild 0.3 will allow this. It still unsettles me though.

Argh, really stupid bug - I'll fix that later today.

It seems rebuild doesn't respect/parse versions.

From derelictGL:
    version(Windows)
        import derelict.opengl.wgl;
    else version(linux)
        version = UsingGLX;

    version(UsingGLX)
        import derelict.opengl.glx;

Rebuild doesn't compile derelict.opengl.glx, which it should on my machine. If I comment version(UsingGLX) out, rebuild compiles the import just fine.

Fixed some bugs introduced in rebuild 0.2, and also fixed support for 'version=' statements.

Why is it unsettling?

I'm just curious. I don't have a significant preference either way. I'll use whatever works.

It's just unportable is all *shrugs*

I suppose it doesn't really matter :)

Two questions:

Does rebuild support environment variables in a build file?  Like
   -I$(DMDDIR)/dmd/import

Is there some way to read commands from build files other than the '@file' syntax?  Like '-f filename' for example.
