I haven't managed to get rebuild to work yet. I think it has major problems with directories with spaces, and I do all my work in a folder within my user profile on Windows XP.

Wow, my first impressions of using xfBuild aren't good. I gave my thoughts and my cmd session below. First, I couldn't find any documentation so I tried a -? switch.

Seems strange that caused an exceptions, but OK, so it mentions +help. I'll try that.

Another exception. Maybe I should just not use a switch.

xfBuild 0.4 :: Copyright (C) 2009 Team0xf

Usage:
        xfbuild [--help]
        xfbuild [ROOT | OPTION | COMPILER OPTION]...

        Track dependencies and their changes of one or more modules, compile the
m
        with COMPILER OPTION(s) and link all objects into OUTPUT [see OPTION(s)]
.

ROOT:
        String ended with either ".d" or "/" indicating a module
        or a directory of modules to be compiled, respectively.

        OPTION(s) are prefixed by "+".
        COMPILER OPTION(s) are anything that is not OPTION(s) or ROOT(s).

Recognized OPTION(s):
        +xPACKAGE    Don't compile any modules within the package
        +full        Perform a full build
        +clean       Remove object files
        +redep       Remove the dependency file
        +v           Print the compilation commands
        +h           Manage headers for faster compilation
        +profile     Dump profiling info at the end
        +modLimitNUM Compile max NUM modules at a time
        +DDEPS       Put the resulting dependencies into DEPS [default: .deps]
        +OOBJS       Put compiled objects into OBJS [default: .objs]
        +q           Use -oq when compiling (only supported by ldc)
        +noop        Don't use -op when compiling
        +nolink      Don't link
        +oOUTPUT     Link objects into the resulting binary OUTPUT
        +cCOMPILER   Use the D Compiler COMPILER [default: dmd]
        +rmo         Reverse Module Order (when compiling - might uncrash OPTLIN
K)

Environment Variables:
        XFBUILDFLAGS You can put any option from above into that variable
                       Note: Keep in mind that command line options override
                             those
        D_COMPILER   The D Compiler to use [default: dmd]
                       Note: XFBUILDFLAGS and command line options override
                             this

That worked. Now I want everything in the pd directory to be compiled. It looks like xfbuild pd/ should do the trick according to what I just read.

What's with the exceptions? Am I doing something wrong? I am using D 2.032

Some documentation is at the official site: http://wiki.team0xf.com/index.php?n=Tools.XfBuild Well it's still a WIP. Guess that directory thing isn't implemented properly yet. Using a single module works fine for me, it tracks all dependencies and compiles them.

Phil Deets wrote: > What's with the exceptions? Am I doing something wrong? I am using D 2.032 Looks like running with "-?" caused it to create an empty ".deps" file and later trying to access it yields this exception. I'll look into it in a spare moment. Deleting the ".deps" file fixes the issue. There's a basic info page at http://bitbucket.org/h3r3tic/xfbuild/wiki/Home and it mentions to delete the ".deps" file when something goes wrong :P That and I think you need to specify +o for the output name. -- Tomasz Stachowiak http://h3.team0xf.com/ h3/h3r3tic on #D freenode

Zeus comes with a modified version of ctags meaning it can generate tag information for the D language. This tag information is used to drive the code navigation, class browsing and intelisensing features. I made these ctags changes quite some time ago changes when there was no D2 so I am not sure if this tagger stil works for D2.
