digitalmars.D - DMD installation on Linux

I've updated the installation instructions on Wiki4D:
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?D__Tutorial/InstallingDCompiler

I separated them into two different methods:
1. unpack the distribution in your home directory, and use it from there
2. install the files to the system locations (for instance with an RPM)

The first one is suitable if you don't have admin priviledges,
and the second one is good for (single) installation packages...

They are still somewhat tedious, in requiring several manual steps.


I also updated the RPMS for dmd and phobos, to exclude the internal
modules from installation and to put "phobos-debug" in a subpackage

http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/dmd.spec
http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/dmd-0.113-7.nosrc.rpm

The SRPM builds the following binaries from the dmd.zip file:

436K    dmd-0.113-7.i686.rpm
348K    dmd-doc-0.113-7.i686.rpm
428K    phobos-0.113-7.i686.rpm
252K    phobos-debug-0.113-7.i686.rpm

3.0M    ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.113.zip

Installation is then simplified to:

sudo rpm -Uvh dmd-0.113-7.i686.rpm phobos-0.113-7.i686.rpm

And speaking of linux, has anyone ported d to gentoo? I tried it once (dmd v.96) and it corrupted gcc. I had to rebuild the server. But, I should say that it was **probably** not the porting, but a combination of a bunch of things, which porting dmd didn't help. Just wondering... thanks. josé

I'm sorry, that question does not make any sense. DMD works just fine with Gentoo, without porting... Did you mean "has anyone got an ebuild for dmd" ? (probably not, since DMD itself is not Open Source) Or "can you compile GDC on Gentoo" ? (which several people have claimed to have done without problems)

I don't think it was the "porting" either. :-P --anders

An ebuild exists on the Gentoo bugzilla, but I believe it won't ever be included in Portage due to problems creating the needed/required digest. The Open Source part isn't a problem.

Seems to be fixed now: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46806 The digest problem was only because dmd.zip wasn't versioned, but it is now: dmd.133.zip And you are right, Gentoo does accept entries without sources. I was thinking of Debian :-) However, their LICENSE="Artistic" is bogus... DMD is not distributable, Phobos is zlib/png. --anders

Hmm... The gdc ebuild includes a "dev-libs/phobos", which is the GDC variant. That's bound to get ugly, when it conflicts with the DMD version later on... (Phobos is currently specific to each D compiler!) The "dmd" bin conflict is avoided by sticking it in the gcc/d subdirectory (is that on the PATH?) I guess one should either include "phobos" in the "gdc" ebuild, or split it out into "dmd-phobos" and "gdc-phobos" or something. Or fix it... :-) For the RPMS, "phobos" is for DMD (/usr/lib) and "gdc" is installed in /opt/gdc (i.e. /opt/gdc/lib) --anders

BTW Anders, on bugzilla, I'm Kenny Bentley that is posting some of the bugfixes. Do you have any idea when the new 0.11 will come out? I might have some more fixes for gdc... I was thinking for now either forcing the compile of built in boehm-gc or forcing it not to be built in. maybe a use flag. It appears that it's kinda random if it gets built or not. If I get some more time, I'm going to figure out what's going wrong in the configure script. (if I enable CFLAGS, it forces the compile, but if I disable, then it is random..) I also want to figure out how to enable DFLAGS in the ebuild (without it breaking it). I agree something should be done about having conflicting dmd and gdc packages... perhaps just make sure portage knows they conflict. That's really easy to be added to the ebuilds, and should be added to both, so it doesn't happen. It *SHOULD* be possible that they can both co-exist though. I'm going to run a diff on the two phobos libraries a little later, so see if I can spot the problem.

The problem is: 1) The GDC version of Phobos have quite a few patches applied, that are taking eons to appear in the upstream Phobos sources 2) They both want to be called "libphobos.a", even though they (possibly) contain different code and link to different libs 3) There is a similar conflict between "dmd" (the DMD compiler) and "dmd" (the GDC wrapper script), when both are installed. Since GDC conflicts with the system GCC compiler anyway, I ended up installing it under /opt/gdc instead of under /usr... That way, both can be installed without any conflicts at all ? Only downside is that you have to add /opt/gdc/bin to your PATH I suggest that Gentoo does the same, and removes the "phobos" ebuild. (including Phobos modules and libraries in the main "gdc" package ?) --anders

For now, I'll continue working on the gdc aspect of it, getting it as close to perfect as possible. I don't want to have to add another PATH entry if I don't have to. I haven't had problems with it in the same dir as gcc, and I've really been messin with the compiler quite a bit. What is the conflict with gcc? If anything should get a separate dir, it should be dmd and its version of phobos (because of the licensing thing). I'll look into this when I get back from work. 1. oh, wow, ok -- forget the diff then. 2. since dmd has it's linking somewhat hardcoded, perhaps libphobos.a for dmd could be libdmdphobos.a 3. oh aight, lemme know how I can help kenny

Me neither, but the recommended (by Digital Mars) approach to D is to put the files wherever you like and play with PATH and DFLAGS... It's the same approach that Java uses, and I think it sucks eggs. :-)

Maybe it's not such a big deal on Gentoo, but on other distros (not to mention other operating systems) the system GCC has a truckload of conflicting and unrelated patches applied to it... This means that the regular compiler needs the regular gcc, and the GDC frontend needs the matching gcc to link the files. If Gentoo can get by with "just one" gcc and g++, the better...
 1. oh, wow, ok -- forget the diff then.
If you look in the GDC distribution, there is a file called "patch-dmd-0.102" (or something like that) ? It should contain most of the patches applied, usually with a version(GNU) { }
 2. since dmd has it's linking somewhat hardcoded, perhaps libphobos.a 
 for dmd could be libdmdphobos.a
I don't think DMD is going to change, but maybe they do need different names ? (I added one such "different" Phobos library myself, called libphobos-debug.a that was built without -release, for the contracts)
 3. oh
Of course, the "dmd" wrapper is just a helper when you don't have DMD... Maybe it should be installed as eg. "dmd-wrapper", and then it could (optionally) set up a symbolic link - only if there is no real "dmd" ?
 aight, lemme know how I can help

I think a name change is necessary for libphobos.a. For each D compiler, they are two different libraries. At least they should be considered different in much the same way as library versions on the same system are different (that's how they coexist). Therefore, it seems logical to assign each phobos a different name. dmd and gdc should be able to coexist on the same system and each compiler should know which phobos belongs to them. - John R.

what I mean is, in dmd on windows (if I remember right before I removed that partition) you could type "dmd myprog.d" and it would output myprog.exe. In the process of that, you would notice that it does two things.. it did the compiling, then it linked it with the linker tool. If it's the same on linux (I don't know, I use gdc), all that needs to be done for dmd would be to simply edit the (ini?) file to reflect the new lib location or name. Ok, seriously, I'm getting tired here, so nap, then code, then work, then I'll check this out :) peace kenny P.S. david, if there's anything I can do to help, lemme know :)

 The error with boehm-gc was the configure script in the boehm-subdir

 get patched as it should(thanks David). This wasn't caught because the

oh ok, sweet! If I were to do it, I would rather see gdc have a dependency on boehm-gc, as then if someone wanted to use their own gc, it's a much easier task, or creating a threadsafe gc, or removing the gc... Just a thought... David?

It almost appears that there's a call to ../ (the directory above)

Sorry, not too good with ebuilds yet.

 Guys,

 I got the latest ebuilds for gdc & phobos out of bugs.gentoo.org and

I doubt your a complete idiot. I have never seen this error. try removing the -r1 from the ebuild... I dunno. Maybe you could give more detailed information... what does "emerge gdc" produce? How about "emerge phobos" ??? hope you get it working!

I just read your post again. Sorry about that. I'm screwed up. My friend gave me 3 nodoz yesterday and I'm still feeling the effects. It shouldn't work the way you put it... for me: total 8 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 127 Feb 16 05:09 Manifest drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 88 Feb 16 05:09 files -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1652 Feb 20 23:25 phobos-0.10.ebuild that's really weird.

When I corrected it, everything worked fine.  I was able to get GDC as 
well as Phobos (GDC) up and running.

Thanks for the help,

There's a new GDC ebuild up now, that doesn't use dev-libs/phobos... Instead it is included in dev-lang/gdc, it's compiler specific anyway http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48136 --anders

Sweet, except that you still need to unset LDFLAGS(note the leading 'L') 
in the ebuild to get the gc stuff right. It doesn't even compile for me 
the way it looks now.

And, when making ebuilds: if you supply an updated version, stick an 
'-rX' suffix on it, it marks the version of the ebuild itself.
This one should be called gdc-0.10-r2.

Okay, just add after the other umpteen "unsets" then.

It's not. The idea is to handle different versions of things.

I meant that I wanted it to start at "0", once out of development. Anyway, I'm not sure that it will be released or when that'll happen. Both DMD and GDC were added to Gentoo's bugzilla back in April 2004 ? Maybe they are just waiting for D itself to reach 1.0, or something. --anders

Seems they still may have some issues with licensing, but that may be 
DMD, not GDC.

Interesting... Seems like the initial problem was with DMD lacking versions, so it couldn't be linked to. Then there is the license which does not allow re-distribution, which can be stated in ebuild: LICENSE="DMD" RESTRICT="nomirror" It might be that since DMD is a binary-only package, it can't be put in the regular directories as per policy but has to be in something like /opt/dmd instead ? (like with Sun's JDK:) http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dev-java/sun-jdk/ And at least DMD can be downloaded directly with FTP, without going through some silly licensing pages and shellscript / zip wrappers ? (like one has to do for almost all of Sun's java-related stuff...) Fortunately, none of this is a problem for GDC since it comes with full source code and is released under the LICENSE="GPL-2"... It also could work on platforms other than X86, such as Gentoo PPC. (GDC 0.10 doesn't, due to an issue with the signedness of chars) The only remaining issue to be sorted out is the boehm-gc depend ? (and of course the failing unittest, and the missing manpages...) --anders
