gdc test.d
Unsupported environment; neither Win32 or Posix is declared
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.3/../../../../include/d/4.1.3/tango/sys/Common.d:83: static assert is false

but doing rebuild test.d compiles (leaves all these tango*.o object files in my current directory… kinda odd)…

i think i will wait until I move to hardy

thanks for all the hard work!! :)

It is required that the -version=Posix parameter is passed to gdmd when compiling. Tango contains static asserts that ensure at least one of Posix or Win32 is defined.

If you installed the DSSS package then you could see that all gdc based profiles in /usr/etc/rebuild are actually using “gdmd -version=Posix …” (in fact *ALL* profiles use it).

I recommend you use only DSSS(or maybe rebuild) to compile/run your code since the DSSS (in my mind at least) acts as the perfect (and final) wrapper to any inconsistency or issue regarding the correct calls to the compiler and linker. It will know what libraries to link automatically and also it will pass all required parameters to the underlying commands just as they should be passed.

I have my dsss.conf set up and no matter what happens all I need to do is “dsss-gdc-tango build” and that’s it. For me it works flawlessly every time and on every computer I tried it (only with the above packages of course).

what to write in /etc/apt/sources.list ?!
