Indeed. I guess I just failed to read the message on the grounds it was mentioning stuff I had no interest in.  My problem I guess.

Thanks for the "heads up".

DMD from Git master should emit an explicit error for this now (by parsing the linker output).

Hm, I guess I still have to port it to LDC, though.

Hi Russel,

Just wondering if there's any update on this issue. I did a 'hg pull; hg update', which pulled in a bunch of updates, but the '-L-L.' option is still missing from the link command.

So I'm temporarily using a git branch for my project that manually links in the library sources instead of building a static library. A rather ugly situation; I'm hoping that I can stop doing this soon.

Thanks!

The period Dec 20 → Jan 2 is a (generally far too short) sequence of celebrations of various things. Very little tends to get done other than eating, drinking and photography.

I think I have just spotted the problem that was distracting me when trying to make your test work: I have ldc in a personal location rather than the main location. SCons is supposed not to use personal paths so ldc should not be present for the tests so the ldc tests should be skipped.  My code for handling this is rubbish. And wrong.

So am I :-)

I have put a "quick hack" in place to make things work. This is clearly a "hack" and needs doing properly, but as it is the smallest change that makes the tests work, it is the correct solution!
