Slackware-current: gcc-gdc just lost libgphobos.a and libgdruntime.a

Zexuo · 11-13-2019, 10:40 AM

Sometime this past week the gcc-gdc-9.2.0 package in Slackware-current lost the static libraries libgphobos.a and libgdruntime.a. Even simple D programs will not link (unless perhaps dynamically with the *.so versions of the above libraries, which remain).

Working fine here, tested with a simple hello.d.

Running `gdc hello.d`, I get the message:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgphobos
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdruntime
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

My locate database has /usr/lib/libgphobos.a and /usr/lib/libgdruntime.a but these files do not appear in the filesystem or in the gcc-gdc package file list (I updated current last night). Did you use a different command?

The two static libraries were removed from the gcc-gdc package during the rebuild earlier this week: https://git.slackware.nl/current/dif...0f557400b3206d

Ah, no wonder it was working here... it seems my machine still has the static libraries although they were removed from the gcc-gdc package. I'd previously removed the static libraries from gcc-go and it continued to work as expected, but it seems there's an issue with the shared D libraries. Not sure why they don't work when the static libraries are missing, but I'll go ahead and add the static libraries back. They'll be the biggest static libraries we ship, but for now it looks like we'll have to take that hit.

I haven't come across anything written in "d" but I can't compile this program:

Code:

import std.stdio;
void main()
{
    writeln("Hello, World!");
}

Code:

[grogan@getstuffed:~]$ gdc -o hello hello.d
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgphobos
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdruntime
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

However, if I do this, I can:

Code:

[grogan@getstuffed:~]$ gdc -o hello -shared-libphobos hello.d
[grogan@getstuffed:~]$ ./hello
Hello, World!

Thanks for the clue

My pleasure to be able to help, I got it from the man page for gdc.
