D interface files (.di) and Rebuild

tom

Hi,

I'm building a private library and use Rebuild to compile.

I'd like to have the resulting .lib file at some place (to link with it directly), and also have an include dir where interface files would be readed for the compilation process.

The first is easy, but the second has a problem, or I'm missing something.

Let's say I have

I don't think you can do this with rebuild alone, you need to use dsss (dsss uses rebuild) to get what you want.

You need to create a dsss.conf file and place it one level above the library root directory
containing for a lib: "[lib_root_directory]"
or for an application: "[main.d]".
(without the quotes)

Then run "dsss build" to build the lib and "dsss install" to install it in the dsss folder, the later will create the .di files you want. The .di files will be kept in the necessary directory structure for the package and modules to work correctly.

Oh ok, I see. That's wonderful.
Thanks.

Now that I've done it, I have another question:
Is it possible to override the path to which dsss write the lib, objs, imports and docs (by default: <CURDIR>, dsss_objs, dsss_imports and dsss_docs, respectively) ?

Kind regards,

I know that you can change the installation folders but the build folders, I don't know if that's possible. Someone else that knows dsss better should answer that question. You can aways run "dsss --help" to see if you find something.

Nope, I tried '--help' already. The other alternative for me was to use the '--config' option, so that I could gather all the output in a build folder. But '--help' says it should be used for testing purposes only. So...

It seems like DSSS is oriented to work in a shared-path build manner, and there's no way to customize it for working on a more traditional scheme.
