Build fails after upgrade to 2.051 with gcc saying
  /usr/local/lib/libdruntime.a: No such file or directory

And indeed, the file is gone!

This is XCode with D for XCode plugin, so it assumes stuff about the build tools. Using dmd from the command line works, and running it with '-v' it seems it only links in phobos2? (and some other minor libs..) I can't find libdruntime in the Linux-folder either, although the README-file there lists it?

Is libdruntime no more?

(And if that's the case, does anyone know how to fix this is in the D for XCode plugin?)

Quick 2.051 D for Xcode fix:

Open
   /Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/
And do Show contents on the 'D for Xcode.xcplugin"-bundle and then open
   ./Contents/Resources/dmd2.pblinkspec
and change the line
   CommandLineArgs = { NO = (); "<<otherwise>>" = ("/usr/local/lib/libphobos2.a", "/usr/local/lib/libdruntime.a"); };
to
   CommandLineArgs = { NO = (); "<<otherwise>>" = ("/usr/local/lib/libphobos2.a"); };
and restart Xcode.

(Sorry for the boring post. Just documenting for future reference.)

I believe that libdruntime.a has been gone for at least a couple of releases now. I think that its contents have just been subsumed into libphobos.a. The two libraries are compiled separately, and you could use libdruntime separately if you had the .a file for it, but it looks like it was decided to simplify things and just have libphobos.a include the druntime stuff in the normal case, since you're almost always going to need both anyway.

Another possibility, rebuild druntime on your own.

Simple as make -f posix.mak on OSX from the compiler's src/druntime directory.

You then have to copy the library.
