Ok, I found the issue in dmd picking up the system's dmd.conf during "bootstrapping" which had conflicting settings, effectively linking phobos2 against itself or something like that. Now I write a clean dmd to dmd/ini/linux/bin${MODEL}/dmd.conf and symlink it into dmd/src.

Yes, if you build dmd from sources, you need to provide a working dmd.conf. The binary dmd already comes with one.

I think there should be no need for dmd.conf to build dmd from source. -- Andrei

You are right, I should have written while compiling druntime/Phobos it works either with build-in defaults or the system provided /etc/dmd.conf. After a refactoring in the dmd make files and my package script I missed the point, that dmd no longer had a dmd.conf in its source tree to work with. When I had a feeling it could be using /etc/dmd.conf I deleted that file, but dmd is unexpectedly resilient nowadays and recovered by using built-in defaults. Only after adding some bogus flags to /etc/dmd.conf I realized it was indeed picking up conflicting flags from there.

This is the last step missing for the 2.066.1 release.

Please excuse terseness and typos

In the meanwhile I went ahead and released 2.066.1 Arch Linux package early

For the next time please wait with any packages until we actually release a version. There can always be last minute problems and this only makes things more complicated.
Also the users of your package will have a mismatching documentation on dlang.org.

Thanks for maintaining an Arch Linux package btw.

So I've been bringing everything up to snuff and here's what I'm now getting after getting everything needed on a clean machine:

cd /path/to/dlang.org
make -f posix.mak

=======================
...
dub build --root=../tools/dpl-docs --compiler=../dmd/src/dmd
Error executing command build: Failed to invoke the compiler ../dmd/src/dmd to determine the build platform: Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file 'object.d'
       dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd -man' for installation instructions.
Specify path to file 'object.d' with -I switch


make: *** [dpl-docs] Error 2
=======================

Martin, Sönke, do you think we can bring dub to the point we don't rely on machine specifics (i.e. dmd.conf) to build everything? That might mean extra options.


Thanks,

Andrei
