What is the proper way to configure DMD for use on BSD systems?

There is no freebsd or openbsd folder in the zip file so the instructions on dlang.org/dmd-freebsd.html cannot be followed as written. I tried building from source but get the following errors:

This happened on OpenBSD, FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD. I am running the 64bit version of all these operating systems. Which actually might be the problem now that I think about it. Does DMD even support the 64bit version  of Free/OpenBSD?

Try running it with gmake

Yes, DMD works on FreeBSD, both 32bit and 64bit. I've sent pre-compiled binaries to Walter. I don't know if he wants to put them online. As nazriel said, you need to run it with gmake (GNU make).

I do, and want to include it with a couple other adjustments to 2.064.

Ok... Thanks for the pointer. I tried it and got much further than before. Pays to use the right tool for the job. I still ran into
problems though:

g++  -c -Wno-deprecated -Wstrict-ailiasing -D__pascal= -fno-exceptions -O2  -Ibackend -Itk -Iroot -DMARS=1 -DTARGET_FREEBSD=1 -DDM_TARGET_CPU_X86=1 -DDMDV2=1 -I. backend/dwarf.c
backend/dwarf.c: In function 'void dwarf_initfile(const char*)':
backend/dwarf.c:658:9: error 'error' was not declared in this scope
backend/dwarf.c:662:35: error 'getcwd' was not declared in this scope
backend/dwarf.c:667:22: error 'ERANGE' was not declared in this scope
gmake: *** [dwarf.o] Error 1


Any pointers?

Thanks.

If you want the pre-compiled binaries I have them here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18386187/dmd.2.064.2-freebsd.zip

It's both for 32 and 64bit. Both stripped an unstripped executables.

There exist FreeBSD ports for dmd1 and dmd2, which you can use to compile either one in 32- or 64-bit.  Any reason you're not using them?  They're a little stale, but they should work.  At the very least, you should be able to figure out build requirements like this by looking at the port's makefile, if you prefer to build dmd yourself.

Oh, I should mention also, that there isn't general BSD support in D.  Try grepping for freebsd in the source.  I just tried it on the source in the 2.063.2 zip file and I got 510 hits for freebsd, 181 hits for openbsd, and 2 hits for dragonfly.  By comparison, I got 685 hits for linux.  That should give you a crude but reasonable idea of how well-supported each OS is.  As for 64-bit, I believe it should work on FreeBSD, but likely isn't well-tested.

FreeBSD is the only officially supported BSD system. The auto tester runs tests on both 32bit and 64bit FreeBSD so it should be well tested.

FreeBSD/32 and FreeBSD/64 are both tested just as much as the rest of the platforms.  That said, I'm sure that neither gets the same level of usage from the community as linux or win32.
