Hello list... I'm new to D, but not programming. I've followed the instructions on http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-osx.html However, I keep on getting this error: dnormandin ~/programming/dmd2/code 04:38 pm >> dmd -w firstApp.d object.d: Error: module object is in file 'object.d' which cannot be read import path[0] = /etc/../../src/phobos import path[1] = /etc/../../src/druntime/import My guess is that dmd.conf is hosed somehow. I haven't edited the default one - I've got it living in /etc/. -- Duke

Looks like those instructions need to be fixed. The file dmd.conf is expecting to live in the same directory as the DMD executable (ie, "{wherever you unzipped DMD}/osx/bin/" ). Deleting it out of /etc/ should work. Or, if you really wanted, you could edit it (it's a pretty simple text file) and change the paths to point to the right places (Just replace "% P%" with ""{wherever you unzipped DMD}/osx/bin/") BTW, these sorts of things are probably best asked over in "digitalmars.D.learn".

Welcome to D :)
Thank you!I've followed the instructions on http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-osx.html However, I keep on getting this error: dnormandin ~/programming/dmd2/code 04:38 pm >> dmd -w firstApp.d object.d: Error: module object is in file 'object.d' which cannot be read import path[0] = /etc/../../src/phobos import path[1] = /etc/../../src/druntime/import My guess is that dmd.conf is hosed somehow.

I'm glad that in my noobiness, I've been able to contribute _something_ ;)The file dmd.conf is expecting to live in the same directory as the DMD executable (ie, "{wherever you unzipped DMD}/osx/bin/" ). Deleting it out of /etc/ should work. Or, if you really wanted, you could edit it (it's a pretty simple text file) and change the paths to point to the right places (Just replace "% P%" with ""{wherever you unzipped DMD}/osx/bin/")
Kinda thought so - but thought I'd ask first, _before_ I started hacking and chopping.BTW, these sorts of things are probably best asked over in "digitalmars.D.learn".
Thanks for the heads-up! -- Duke

If you want to avoid the hassle of installing things manually, you can also use the D for Xcode installer which, in addition to installing a plugin for Xcode, downloads and installs the latest version of DMD 1 and 2. <http://michelf.com/projects/d-for-xcode/> -- Michel Fortin michel.fortin michelf.com http://michelf.com/

Have it already - thanks! However, _now_ I need a tutorial on how to use XCode, cuz I've been using emacs forever. I dabbled in ObjC for awhile, but never got anywhere with, because I spent most of my time keeping XCode happy. I don't want that to happen with my D experience. Do you know of a _real good_ XCode tutorial?
First, you don't *need* Xcode. The D for Xcode installer installs DMD so it is usable on the command line. You shouldn't have any problem using emacs, make, and whatever else you may like. If the 'dmd' command doesn't work after install, then it's probably something else outside of the DMD installation that is causing problems. Second, most Xcode tutorials focus on Cocoa and writing GUI applications. I'm not sure what you want to know, but personally what I find quite useful to be aware of is how the build system works. If that's what you want to learn, perhaps this is what you should read: <http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/XcodeBuildSystem/> -- Michel Fortin michel.fortin michelf.com http://michelf.com/

You can just unzip the zip file, add executable permission on dmd/osx/bin/dmd and use it just where it is. -- /Jacob Carlborg

What have you done with your developer tools installation ?? It doesn't install anything in /usr/local by default. And by default all libraries are universal binaries so you shouldn't have that problem. It seems you have installed a new gcc version and you haven't build it the Apple way, that is building with support for universal builds. -- /Jacob Carlborg

Unlikely. The two errors you wrote about:dnormandin ~/programming/dmd2/osx/bin 07:53 am>> ./dmd ../../code/firstApp.d ld warning: in /usr/local/gnat/lib/libgcc_s.10.5.dylib, missing required architecture i386 in file ld warning: in /usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin9.6.0/4.3.4/libgcc.a, file is not of required architecture
Noticed that both refer to files in /usr/local/gnat? "GNAT", isn't this a GCC-based ADA compiler? My guess is that some of you environment variables have the "/usr/local/gnat" path before the standard system path, and "gnat" seems to include single-architecture (x86_64) copies of the GCC libraries. If that's the case, GCC running in 64 bit will work using these libraries, but since DMD is 32 bit it won't. -- Michel Fortin michel.fortin michelf.com http://michelf.com/
