digitalmars.D - I think we need to standardize where D headers are to be installed
- =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Alex_R=F8nne_Petersen?= (13/13) Sep 28 2012 It seems it's very inconsistent where D headers are installed across
It seems it's very inconsistent where D headers are installed across various systems/distros. Some use $PREFIX/include/d/, some use $PREFIX/include/<d compiler>/, $PREFIX/include/<target triple>/d/, etc... Can people who are familiar with how some particular system does it weigh in here? I think that first of all, we need to figure out how it's done and then figure out how we want it to be done. C has always used $PREFIX/include, so we need some kind of standard, too. FWIW I think $PREFIX/include/d/ would be sane enough, where particular projects could install their headers to $PREFIX/include/d/<project>/. -- Alex Rønne Petersen alex lycus.org http://lycus.org

I think you are correct. The ideal would be a single -I/path/to/include= /d = so that any program could then import deimos.ncurses, or gtkd.widget. IMO the easiest way to standardize would be to add -I$PREFIX/include/d t= o = the standard install config file. Then we would have a sane standard that exists by default. my dmd.conf =E2=94=95[1100110]=E2=94=81>cat /etc/dmd.conf [Environment] DFLAGS=3D-I/usr/include/d -I~/Code/vibe.d/source = -I/usr/include/d/druntime/import -L-L/usr/lib -L-L/usr/lib32 = -L-L/usr/lib64 -L--no-warn-search-mismatch I don't know if it is in there by default or not, but the first -I is a = = lifesaver.
