I've setup a windows version of dmd with phobos, tango and dsss on wine (PcLinuxOS i686). dmd+phobos with dsss works fine, but with tango I get this optlink error:

OPTLINK : Error 2: File Not Found _CMDLINE
--- errorlevel 1

After some google-fu, I found out that CMDLINE is used to pass long arguments to the linker. After this however, I got stuck. Can anybody help me out? Do I need to provide more information in order to make that possible?

I saw a similar thing when I tested wine, maybe rebuild is doing the wrong thing there?

I suppose another question is why you're using DMDWin on Linux in the first place..

To be able to test software for Windows without having to stop by that, uhm, OS?

Good point :)

Apparently it is an environment variable passed to link.exe. I found the following snippet in link.c in both the rebuild and dmd source code. I'm still not sure what is going on though:

#if _WIN32
int executecmd(char *cmd, char *args, int useenv)
{
    int status;
    char *buff;
    size_t len;

    if (!global.params.quiet || global.params.verbose)
    {
        printf("%s %s\n", cmd, args);
        fflush(stdout);
    }

    if ((len = strlen(args)) > 255)
    {   char *q;
        static char envname[] = "@_CMDLINE";

        envname[0] = '@';
        switch (useenv)
        {   case 0:     goto L1;
            case 2: envname[0] = '%';   break;
        }
        q = (char *) alloca(sizeof(envname) + len + 1);
        sprintf(q,"%s=%s", envname + 1, args);
        status = putenv(q);
        if (status == 0)
            args = envname;
        else
        {
        L1: 0;
            //error("command line length of %d is too long",len);
        }
    }

    status = executearg0(cmd,args);
#if _WIN32
    if (status == -1)
        status = spawnlp(0,cmd,cmd,args,NULL);
#endif
//    if (global.params.verbose)
//      printf("\n");
    if (status)
    {
        if (status == -1)
            printf("Can't run '%s', check PATH\n", cmd);
        else
            printf("--- errorlevel %d\n", status);
    }
    return status;
}
#endif

This _CMDLINE problem isn't related to tango, it also happens with phobos on wine if the command lines to compile are long enough.

However, I got a hello world tango program to compile and it crashes with an exception (access violation). This happens at the end of the program. Is it ok to file this as a ticket for tango?

Someday I hope this stuff will work, when it does I will make a wine-doors
package.

If it is reproducable under windows, sure. The examples I tried worked fine though, so you may have hit upon a wine bug.

Yes most probably it is. If I can find out more about it, I'll report it to the wine developers.

Now Wine 0.9.55 is available, but the bug exists anymore :-(
No news here with this topic?
I got the same problem...
