digitalmars.D - Got Mango? ( installation / compiling instructions)

reply jicman <jicman_member pathlink.com> writes:
Folks, 

I have looked for more than 1/2 hour how to compile a simple sample mango
program, but there are no instructions anywhere.  Well, not that I can find.
None of the documentation download (mango_release_1-1_doc.zip) contain any d
sample compile commands. Does any one have any website where it would show some
d compile samples?    When I try 

dmd source.d

I get a bunch of errors of libraries not found.  How do I pass the mango
libraries to dmd?  I looked over mango and it's something that I want to do for
the http stuff that I am doing, but I can't get it to work.

thanks,

You need to include mango.lib as one of the files supplied to dmd.exe, which will then pass it along to the linker; e.g. on windows: dmd myfile.d myotherfile.d mango.lib All libraries are handled this way with dmd ~ you would typically have to add phobos.lib also, but the compiler assumes you want that anyway. Hope that helps - Kris

I haven't tried Mango yet, but I'll test it with my Build utility today. Hopefully then all one would have to do is type in "build source" on the command line. -- Derek Melbourne, Australia

It works okay, not fine but just okay. With the current v1.2 of Build ( www.dsource.org ) you have to specify the directory in which the 'mango' tree is installed. For example, if I've installed mango into the directory C:\dlibs\ then the following command line works ... build msource -C:\dlibs BTW, the test source code I used is ... <code> module msource; private import mango.io.Buffer; private import std.stdio; void main() { Buffer B = new Buffer(4000); writefln("The buffer has readable:%d writeable:%d bytes.", B.readable, B.writable); } </code> For my first attempt to use build for mango apps, I edited the sc.ini file to include the mango lib path ... old: DFLAGS=-I% P%\..\src\phobos new: DFLAGS=-I% P%\..\src\phobos;c:\dlibs but this highlighted a bug in build; it didn't recognize semi-colon delimited flags. So I fixed that, but even though now 'build' could find the mango imports, 'dmd' still couldn't. So keeping the sc.ini file with the mango lib path in it, I tried invoking dmd with an explict -Ic:\dlibs on it and it worked! So my conclusion is that DMD does not use the sc.ini file correctly for DFLAG options. I have now updated build to explicitly add an DFLAG options in to the dmd command line it invokes, and now it works just fine. In other words, after updating your sc.ini file to include the mango path, all you will have to do to compile an app that uses mango is ... build msource Works a treat! :D I'll upload BUILD v1.3 later today, as I'll play with this workaround a bit more first. -- Derek Melbourne, Australia 23/02/2005 12:12:06 PM

Great work, Derek! Building Mango is an excellent stress test for build. If you've succeeded there, that's good news. A question: Mango typically uses some commandline "-version" switches like -version=Mango and -version=Posix (for linux). I guess these statements will be needed to include some appropriate code in the build. How does build handle this? I assume we pass-thru to the compiler somehow? - John R.

Sure, just pass them on the build command line... build mysource -version=Mango -version=Posix However, I've been thinking I might automatically set the Posix version if it runs on a linux system...dunno, I'll take some advice on that. Also, I've been thinking enabling build to use a response file, so that you could do something like ... build unix and it would get its command line options from a file called 'unix.brf' and that would look like ... mysource -version=Mango -version=Posix Anyhow, these are just ideas for now. -- Derek Melbourne, Australia 23/02/2005 1:11:40 PM

Awesome!

Get's my vote. Just as Win32 should be the default on that platform?

Sounds good! Though the .brf is perhaps a bit chundery :~o
