It's based on the original DMD frontend, so it's in C++. Binaries are 
available for GNU/Linux and Windows. It should work on nearly any system 
that has a D compiler.

Hooray for rebuild!

Most notable is that rebuild outputs object file names as 
fully-qualified module names.

Great to see an official announcement. Rebuild solved all my bud issues on
my amd64 gentoo system.

Nice work.

How do I use rebuild to link in libraries?

I've tried using -Spath with some.lib and the full path path\some.lib, 
but the library is never passed through to the link command.

Thanks,

-S is for specifying a /path/, not a file. This is for supporting the 
pragma(link) feature. This is like pragma(lib), except you specify a 
sane part of the library name, and it figures out the actual .lib 
filename. (And it does the Right Thing on Linux, too.)

To explicitly specify a .lib file, use -L.

How do you use -L to link in the library?

Here is the DMD command I'm trying to convert to rebuild.

dmd gld.lib ..\gl\opengl32.lib ..\gl\glu32.lib ..\win32\win32.lib 
..\win32\gdi32.lib ..\win32\winmm.lib -version=WindowsXP -Isource 
-I..\gl\imports -I..\win32\imports -Iimports -oftriangle.exe 
-L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0 source\examples\triangle.d


When I simply replace dmd with rebuild -v, it prints the link message 
below, which doesn't contain any of the libs.

rebuild -v gld.lib ..\gl\opengl32.lib ..\gl\glu32.lib ..\win32\win32.lib

.\gld_-thread.obj  -oftriangle.exe -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0


If I use -L on the first library "gld.lib", it produces an link error 
"OPTLINK : Warning 9: Unknown Option : NOIGLD.LIB"

rebuild -v -Lgld.lib ..\gl\opengl32.lib ..\gl\glu32.lib

That's just leftover from DMD. Getting libs linked in just involves 
passing them into the linker. For every library, you need to add 
-L<library_name> .

I'm going to add a better flag for that.

I would recommend making it work as similar as DMD as possible. With 
DMD, I just list the libraries along with the source and object files.

Very well done.  I've been testing this out and it's working
exceptionally well with dmd/win32, gdc/linux(x86), and dmd/linux
(x86), and it's very easy to switch between compilers at any point
with just one rebuild binary.  Next, I'll bet testing it out on gdc-
mingw/win32.

By far the best option yet is the "-oq<dir>" (incidentally -oq is
actually the default setting now).  "-oq" tells rebuild to output
object files with fully qualified names: if you have a source file
named uberkit/tools/string.d, the object file will be called

uberkit-tools-string.obj (on win32) and
uberkit.tools.string.o (on linux).

This helps prevent a number of problems with conflicts.

That's just incredibly marvelous :) and something D should have
been doing long ago... no more object name conflicts, thank you
very much.

Having the D frontend in there is a big bonus as well.

Great job, Gregor!

It seems rebuild doesn't respect/parse versions.

From derelictGL:
    version(Windows)
        import derelict.opengl.wgl;
    else version(linux)
        version = UsingGLX;

    version(UsingGLX)
        import derelict.opengl.glx;

Rebuild doesn't compile derelict.opengl.glx, which it should on my machine.
If I comment version(UsingGLX) out, rebuild compiles the import just fine.

Rebuild does not, at present, support response files. I don't find them 
particularly useful, since simply making a .bat or .sh and putting 
'rebuild' at the beginning suffices for a more powerful method with 
negligible learning curve.

I suppose if there is demand, I will add support. My personal distaste 
for them shouldn't be the be-all end-all.

Well the problem with making a .bat or .sh is that it is platform 
specific.  I don't care if it's a 'response file' or just some 
configuration file in some other format that looks different from 
command line options. But I do find the ability to put a build config in 
a file to be very useful.  And I do find the  file syntax, where some 
particular suffix is implied, to be kind of annoying, because tab 
completion in most any shell completes whole filenames not partial ones. 
  That's why I'd prefer a "-f filename" syntax.  *With* the space in 
between -f and filename if possible.

rebuild does not appear to be checking the date an exe to determine if 
linking is necessary. Here is a transcript.

C:\>dir hello.* /OD

Rebuild checks all of the dates whenever it compiles ...

For the moment just use -full. I'm not sure why this is happening but 
I'll try to replicate and eradicate. It may be Windows-related.

This may help? http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724290.aspx

The timestamps on Win32 are perhaps not the most accurate

Thank you for the great tool, it works much better than bud.

The only thing I couldn't get to work is the documentation generation with
candydoc. 

The command

-------------8<---------------------------------------
dmd <list_of_my_source_files>
    -Dd<path_to_my_documentation>
    <path_to_my_documentation>/candydoc/candy.ddoc
    <path_to_my_documentation>/candydoc/modules.ddoc
-------------8<---------------------------------------

generates source documentation with candydoc, but the command

-------------8<---------------------------------------
rebuild <my_entry_point_source_file>
    -Dd<path_to_my_documentation>
    <path_to_my_documentation>/candydoc/candy.ddoc
    <path_to_my_documentation>/candydoc/modules.ddoc
-------------8<---------------------------------------

generates the source documentation without candydoc. Presumably the extra
parameters for candydoc are neglected.


Regards,
David

You are correct, those parameters (anything named .ddoc, actually) end 
up ignored. I'm fixing this in subversion, the next release should not 
have that issue.

Thanks for the bug report :)
