Minor nitpick: ".svn" folders are left in the package. I don't how you package tango, but try using "svn export" instead of "svn co" Hi, thanks a lot for your packages, it is really the best way to get an usable D environment.

I will try and change that in the next release, thanks for the tip! This kind of observation is quite helpful :).

Somehow, it doesn't properly link the symbols inside the std/c/time.d file with the external C libraries (as Phobos did) when compiled with DMD. I made a small patch that solves your problem (even though this approach is horrible), however my (strong) advice for you is to switch to Tango if possible (I am aware that this might be hard depending on how much code you have that relies on Phobos). As a side note, I *am* discussing with Lars the possibility of re-including Phobos into DMD by default, we'll see how that goes...

You need to save it as “/usr/include/d/tangobos-dmd/std/c/time_patch” and apply it (in the same directory) using:

patch -p0 < time_patch

After this, the compilation should work just fine. Tell me how it goes… ]]>
