I am following Ali Çehreli's book. It says that stdout.write() should work the same as write()

In DMD it works. But when trying to compile with GDC I get the following error:

gdc anApp.d -o anApp && ./anApp
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cc5zJLcW.o: in function `_Dmain':
anApp.d:(.text+0x32): undefined reference to `_D3std5stdio24__T10makeGlobalS6stdoutZ10makeGlobalFNbNcNdNiZS3std5stdio4File'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status


Could you please tell me what could be wrong?

I am using DMD64 2.086.0 and gdc (Ubuntu 8.3.0-6ubuntu1) 8.3.0 on Ubuntu 19.04/64.

Update: the hello world program works fine. Problem appears when I add readf(" %s", &variable)

Can't reproduce, but then again one can't second guess what code you have.

In all likelihood you're linking against the wrong library.

Hi! Thanks for your reply!

Here is the not working code(same error as above when trying with GDC):

import std.stdio;


void main(){

  int a, b, c;
  writeln("Insert three numbers each one followed by hitting Enter key");
  readf(" %s", a);
  readf(" %s", b);
  readf(" %s", c);

  if ( a < b && b < c)
    writeln(a, b, c);
  if ( a > b && b > c)
    writeln(c, b, a);
  if ( a < c && c < b)
    writeln(a, c, b);
  if ( b < a && a < c)
    writeln(b, a, c);
  if ( b < c && c < a)
    writeln(b, c, a);
  if (a == b && b == c)
    writeln(a, b, c);
  if ( a == b && b < c)
    writeln(a, b, c);
  if ( a == b && b > c)
    writeln(c, b, a);
  if ( a == c && c < b)
    writeln(a, c, b);
  if ( a == c && c > b)
    writeln(b, c, a);
}


I am thinking too the problem is a library linking. Is there anyway to find the wrong linking?

Also, here is the command I am using to compile in GDC:

gdc main.d -o main && ./main

I tried also only to compile it: gdc main.d -o main but got the same error.

I mention again: no problem at all in DMD.

And what happens when you compile with -static-libphobos?

This confirms whether you are indeed linking against the wrong library or not.

gdc main.d -static -libphobos -o main

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -libphobos
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Where did the space come from between static and -libphobos? :-)
