On Linux, I type in:

Quote:
build foo.d


and get this error:

Quote:
Error: build:Cannot find application '/home/john/bin/gcc' to run


It shouldn't be looking in my local shell path. Or, I should say, build shouldn't be looking only in my local shell path. It should be looking in the system path.

If I type gcc on the command line, gcc is completely accessible... just not through build.

Can you look into this?

I need more information.

I'm assuming you have not made any changes to either dmd.conf or build.cfg, and that 'gcc' is being used as your linker.

I'm guessing you have a LINKCMD= line in your dmd.conf file. Can you show me what that looks like?

If you want 'gcc' to be found on the normal $PATH list, your LINKCMD in the dmd.conf file should just look like ...
Code:

LINKCMD=gcc


Build does not scan the path looking for 'gcc'. It just uses whatever you supply in the LINKCMD. If you don't have a LINKCMD it just runs 'gcc' and not '$HOME/gcc'

LINKCMD?

I didn't know about that until you mentioned it... nor do I use it. My dmd.conf contains no LINKCMD line.

The only thing I've done is add a path to my local binaries to the ~/.bashrc file so that I can run local binaries automatically:

Quote:
PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"


This makes it easy for me to add local binaries to my home/john/bin directory and run them from anywhere else (in this case, I stick links to the dmd executables there, including build).

But I guess that shouldn't affect anything in this case?

gcc is a system-wide tool available to all users in my linux machines, so I don't know why build does this. I can use gcc via command-line easy enough. It just seems that build can't access it the same way (which doesn't make sense)? If build just runs gcc (since I don't have a LINKCMD), why is it not working in my case?

I tried adding a LINKCMD=gcc (since you mentioned it) and this is what happened:

Quote:
Error: build:Cannot find application '/=gcc' to run


If build tries to just run gcc either way it has troubles. Maybe it's not calling the exec process right? As I said before gcc runs fine from the commandline, just not from build.

Build 3.01 can now see gcc properly, thanks!

But it seems to pass the object files incorrectly now.

When I type "build @full.brf" on the command line (to build build itself in the Source directory), I get this:

Code:
gcc: build.o,build_bn.o,source.o,source_bn.o,uti: No such file or directory
gcc: /str.o,util/str_bn.o,util/linetoken.o,util/linetoken_bn.o,util/booltype.o,util/fdt.o,util/fdt_bn.o,util/pathex.o,util/pathex_bn.o,util/fileex.o,util/fileex_bn.o,util/macro.o,-ofbuild,-lc,-lphobos,-lm,: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files


I haven't navigated the source, but I imagine it's just a little fix somewhere.

Thanks for all your hard work.
