Now I've read other people talking about linux problems, but this one seems different. I'm wondering if I'm just doing something stupid and/or if there is a workaround.

What I want to do is use build to compile a project using my arm-wince-pe-gdc crosscompiler. I am running on linux and have dmd as my native compiler. So I used the Makefile.Unix to compile build. Then I moved the resulting build executable into /usr/local/arm-wince-pe/bin (the directory where my cross-compiler executable is) and renamed it to arm-wince-pe-dbuild. I then put a build.cfg file in that same directory, and put the following into that file:

INIT:CompilerExe = arm-wince-pe-gdc
INIT:LinkerExe = arm-wince-pe-gdmd
INIT:Librarian = arm-wince-pe-ar
INIT:LibPaths = /usr/local/arm-wince-pe/arm-wince-pe/lib
INIT:BuildImportPath = /usr/local/arm-wince-pe/include/d/4.0.3

When I try to use arm-wince-pe-dbuild, it gives me the following errors:

The problem here is not that it's forgetting to link in pthreads; it's that pthreads shouldn't be needed at all. ARM/WinCE is a windows platform and doesn't use pthreads. Build is somehow using the wrong phobos. It should use the arm-wince phobos, but it is using the native phobos. Is there some way to tell build to NOT search /usr/lib?

It almost acts like it doesn't even see that build.cfg file, as i've tried things like giving it invalid compiler executable names and it still compiles and fails on linking like above. Also, it's using ld instead of arm-wince-pe-ld.

Also, when I use the -v or -test switches, it does exactly the same thing and I get no additional info.

I'd appreciate any help here.

Thanks for the killer tool Derek, build rocks!
