I've just upgraded from v0.62 to the latest, in the hope that -o would have been extended. What I was after was a way to specify the output filename of a compile-only, in other words rather than dmd BLAH.D always producing BLAH.OBJ I wanted it to produce BLAH.DBJ. That way I could keep debug and release object files in the same directories, which meant that I could take advantage of suffix rules in my makefile, which meant a lot less timing (and a simpler makefile generator script). When I typed dmd on the new version I was very excited to see " -oobjdir write object files to directory objdir -o filename name output file " so typed dmd BLAH.D -o BLAH.DBJ (<= note the space between -o and BLAH.DBJ) only to be told that it could not create BLAH.DBJ\BLAH.OBJ. Bah! Any chance of this being fixed to work in the way I had intended? (Or have I missed something important ... ?) Matthew

"Matthew Wilson" <matthew stlsoft.org> I think I tried that, and it failed. I'll have to check again.

Doesn't work.

This is a bug in mars.c at line 334, which discriminates between the types of -o by checking the file extension. If it matches .obj, it's considered an object file, otherwise it's considered an object directory.

Excellent. I guess a fix is just around the corner. Shall we say 0.68? :) "Burton Radons" <loth users.sourceforge.net> wrote in message news:beg1hq$1bnb$1 digitaldaemon.com...This is a bug in mars.c at line 334, which discriminates between the types of -o by checking the file extension.

I'm addressing this in 0.69. -Walter "Matthew Wilson" <matthew stlsoft.org> wrote in message news:beg1o6$1bvl$1 digitaldaemon.com...Excellent. I guess a fix is just around the corner.
