Also, now a graphical installer for Mac OSX Intel is available, thanks to Rasmus Andersson. Further, thanks to Gregor Richards, the set of GDC bundles for Linux now includes packages for X86_64. Anders F. Björklund also has been involved for the Universal binaries, and to help make the various packages consistent

I am trying to upgrade to tango. I downloaded the x86_64 installer, and run it. I have put the prefix as both /usr/ and /usr/local/

All of the files are there and installed correctly.
I have tried various dmd.conf files -- but I believe they are not for gdc

I ran when trying to compile one of the examples, I have the following:

/usr/local/bin/gdmd FileBucket.d -v
parse     FileBucket
semantic  FileBucket
import    object	(/usr/local/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/d/4.1.2/object.d)
import    tango.io.FilePath	(tango/io/FilePath.d)
FileBucket.d:3: module FilePath cannot read file 'tango/io/FilePath.d'

and also with gdc:

$ gdc -v FileBucket.d                    Using built-in specs.
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/home/gregor/d/tango/0.99.6/gdc --enable-languages=c,d --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-multilib

GNU D version 4.1.2 20070214 ( gdc 0.24, using dmd 1.024) (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

Anyonr have any ideas??? I really want to get tango working -- cause I need to make the switch

Manual install? http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/UnixInstallGdc

It's always worked for me when I make sure to follow all the steps :)

Few reasons:

1. the latest svn of gdc is super annoying to install.
2. I need to be able to compile the same code on both linux and mac, so I would prefer to use the same installer. I need the same version of gdc on both -- cause there are tweaks I have to make between latest svn and 0.24 vanilla
3. the installer is easy...
4. I have never been able to separate my previous gdc 0.24 vanilla installation away from using phobos.

Once I get the install working, I'll update the installer and send the diff... but I don't know what is the problem.

The alternative would be if I could know how to make my previous installation of gdc work with tango -- but I really would prefer the newer svn of gdc.


I have made progress though.

gdc FileBucket.d  -I/usr/include/d -fversion=Tango -fversion=Posix -lgtango -lgphobos -lpthread -lgcc
/usr/local/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libgphobos.a(cmain.o): In function `main':
/home/gregor/d/tango/0.99.6/lib/compiler/gdc/cmain.d:5: undefined reference to `_Dmain'

How does my vanilla gdc know the other option to automatically add the phobos lib? Where is that data stored? I've tried grepping for it, with no success. Once I can find that file, I think it won't be too hard to get it working.

Thanks again

If you install it and then don't use a build tool, gdc/gdmd won't know where to find the includes. In short, everyone should use a build tool. Always. Always and forever. With GDC the only standard include locations are .../include (right next to the C[++] include files) and .../include/d/<gcc-version> (too constrained), so at the very least you need a build tool that knows more sensible include locations.

And the includes, by the way, are in .../include/d . If you're absolutely insane, you can include them with -I.../include/d .

Or add a -I parameter to DFLAGS, whichever one finds easiest ?

For the Mac universal binaries I just installed Tango imports
in the compiler folder and the Tango runtime as "libgphobos.a"
Then it's only a matter of setting the required variants and
including the user library "libgtango.a", even without build.

http://dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/MacOSXInstall#UsingTango

Using a build tool helps with other things like including all
object files and such, but it isn't strictly *required* either.
I included both a GNU Makefile and a dsss.conf too, so the user
can choose whichever system that they are most comfortable with.

When installing in an alternative location outside the search
dirs, then adding the -I and -L parameters is pretty standard...
This is the same as in C / C++, so the only question is whether
that behaviour is the "good old" or if it is just "legacy" ;-)

I do believe that Tango should install in the regular directories,
so that one doesn't need any extra -I or -L for it, but that's me.

The inclusion of tango.io.Path as a free function interface to FilePath was forgotten in the above list. Apologies.
