dsss.conf: Round Three

aldacron · Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2007 12:21 pm Post subject: dsss.conf: Round Three

Looks like I've finally gotten everything sorted. Local dsss build and dsss install work on the trunk if you download it manually, and the net install works again. I'm still trying to work out how to get all of the packages in one go (i.e. dsss net install derelict), but until then you dsss users can use the same method you've always used to get your Derelict fix.

If no problems rear up over the next few days, I'll look at getting that branch added to the repo for D2.0 compatibility.

I was going to say the dsss building seems to be broken again... but it seems like it's dsss's fault (won't build any libraries as of r845), not derelicts.

I'm just poisting this for anyone else wondering why on earth dsss won't build a library.

Yeah, I read where Gregor mentioned that somewhere a few weeks ago. Once that change gets out of the trunk and into the next official DSSS release, I suppose we'll just have to scrap the dsss.conf files.

I'm tempted to drop support for build scripts altogether. It's really turned into a PITA.

Just for the record - on a fresh dsss install :

AFAIK, DSSS doesn't build libraries anymore. Soon, I'll need to update the scripts to reflect that or just remove them completely.

The way I suggest everyone use Derelict with Tango (even Phobos) is just through importing the modules you need and letting DSSS/Rebuild automatically compile everything together. Just don't bother building the libraries beforehand at all. I've always recommended that and always will. I really don't want to support building the libraries at all because it's been nothing but a headache.

If you absolutely do need to build the libraries with Tango, you can first compile buildme.d into an executable in a Tango environment. If you have Bud on your system, you can then execute the compiled app and build the libraries. That has worked for some people and failed for others.
