I was waiting for that functionality. Good job. I have some comments, though: 1. Why announced on dwt group and not on digitalmars.D.announce at least? 2. Can't it be incorporated into dmd? 3. xfbuild (linux version)tries to write .o files in the same directory as .d file Error: Error writing file '/usr/include/d/tango/io/Console.o' which I guess isn't the best choice. Thanks Cheers

Yeah, I know that. I was talking about a direct build tool implementation into dmd. Maybe it could be better to have it done separately, but option where it's in compiler has many adventages: - standardization - trivial usage - less tools to maintain - no compiler-builder version mismatch Cheers Piotrek

Yeah, I know that. I was talking about a direct build tool implementation into dmd.
I've also already thought about that. Why doesn't dmd check all dependencies itself, it shouldn't be that difficult. In the end the deps are already figured out by that patch, one would "just" need to add the found files to the "processing queue" as if they were passed via commandline. Then I could use DSSS with dmd directly and finally get rid of that outdated buggy rebuild.

Because that's not a proper announcement by any of xfBuild's authors. The build tool is not yet finished and official DMD1 support is still missing thus there hasn't been an announcement.
 2. Can't it be incorporated into dmd?
It could. But then, DMD is not the only D compiler and that would add complexity to all of them. Having this functionality in an external tool means that compiler writers only have to include some basic features to support the tool instead of throwing the kitchen sink into the compiler itself.
 3. xfbuild (linux version)tries to write .o files in the same directory 
 as .d file
The reason would be similar to 1. -- Tomasz Stachowiak http://h3.team0xf.com/ h3/h3r3tic on #D freenode

Well, I'm just sick of build tools using the dmd source like rebuild. It isn't updated anymore and thus it happens so often that rebuild gets trapped in an infinite loop, furthermore I get confusing double output cause rebuild also outputs pragma msgs etc. The newly added -deps parameter in dmd is probably an improvement but I still can't imagine it would be that hard to add this simple functionality directly to the compiler (if it can write out the dependencies, it can also simply just compile them as well, can't it). Build tools could then concentrate on functionality that really doesn't need to be provided by the compiler, like everything that dsss itself does.

No, but scons has tired me. I gave it a try for a while, but gave up on it because I wanted something that would make it so I didn't have to worry so much about platform and compiler configurations. --bb

I think that means you should write module client; as the first line of your module.
