hi,

I'm working on a project to use CMake with D. There is a problem creating static libraries. If I use digitalmars's "lib.exe" on msys:

slmn@BLACKSATAN ~/test
$ dmd.exe -c libtest.d

slmn@BLACKSATAN ~/test
$ lib.exe -c libtest.lib libtest.obj
GetFileData: SetFilePointer

same things happens when using CMake created Unix Makefile by gnu make on dos and msys.

F:\MinGW\home\slmn\test>cmake . -G "Unix Makefiles"
-- Check for working D compiler: F:/dmd/bin/dmd.exe
-- Check for working D compiler: F:/dmd/bin/dmd.exe -- works
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: F:/MinGW/home/slmn/test

F:\MinGW\home\slmn\test>make
Scanning dependencies of target libtest
[ 50%] Building D object CMakeFiles/libtest.dir/libtest.obj
Linking D static library libtest.lib
GetFileData: SetFilePointermake[2]: *** [libtest.lib] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/libtest.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

is there any idea because not working gnu binutils "ar" on dmd created object files.

$ dmd.exe -c libtest.d

slmn@BLACKSATAN ~/test
$ ar cr libtest.lib libtest.obj

slmn@BLACKSATAN ~/test
$ ar s libtest.lib libtest.obj

slmn@BLACKSATAN ~/test
$ dmd.exe test.d -L+libtest.lib
f:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe test,,,user32+kernel32/noi+libtest.lib;

solved. now CMakeD works near perfect on GNU/Linux with DMD and GDC but there is some works to do on Windows DOS/MinGW for both compilers. look http://www.dsource.org/projects/cmaked/wiki/SampleBuildSessions to get an idea how to works.

cheers
