Hi,
I'm new to D and am trying to compile a simple hello world
program.
I get the following error when compiling it:
dmd test.d

/opt/dmd-2.065/lib64/libphobos2.a: could not read symbols: Bad
value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1
This error occurs regardless of whether I use the -fPIC option
or not.
Compiling DMD from source does not change anything.
I am using DMD 2.065.0 on Sabayon amd64, compiled from the
dlang overlay
with gcc (Gentoo Hardened 4.7.3-r1 p1.4, pie-0.5.5) 4.7.3.
Thanks in advance.
From the error it looks like you are compiling test.d as shared
while linking against the static version of the standard
library.
If "dmd test.d" is the command being run there probably is an
error in with the configuration in dmd.conf, the conf file is
probably in /etc.
Depending on the desired behavior you'll need to remove the
-shared flag from the configuration or add
-defaultlib=:libphobos2.so
dmd.conf contains the default settings. I haven't specified
-shared anywhere. The only thing I can think of is that if -fPIC
is required, DMD might be implying it somehow.
Compiling with -defaultlib seems to have fixed it. I'm getting a
warning, but the program compiles and seems to run OK.
dmd -defaultlib=:libphobos2.so -fPIC test.d
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

Is the warning something I should be worried about?
