Hey everyone.

DMD seems to be ignoring /etc/dmd.conf for me. I'm trying to switch to Tango, and I realized that libtango.a wasn't being linked when compiling the standard hello world. So everything works when I add -L-ltango to the command to compile.

I modify my /etc/dmd.conf, which now reads:
[Environment]
DFLAGS=-L-ltango

Try compiling again without -L-ltango explicitly mentioned. Same failure as before.

When I was editing dmd.conf, I noticed that there were -I flags there that had not shown up before.

I have dmd installed in /usr/bin, tango in /usr/lib, and everything else in /usr/include/d. Does dmd assume this setup and only look at dmd.conf if that fails? What can I do to fix it?

First, I'm assuming you are using linux.  If you are not, then you are totally off base, you should be using sc.ini

Second, /etc/ is not the first location that dmd looks for a configuration file.  From the digital mars page http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html:

dmd will look for the initialization file dmd.conf in the following sequence of directories:

  1.. current working directory
  2.. directory specified by the HOME environment variable
  3.. directory dmd resides in
  4.. /etc/
