The last dmd we released that was written in C++ was 2.067, for
which you can still check out the branch. You'd have to
build that bootstrap compiler 2.067 first, then worry about the
latest dmd.
Since we don't regularly build for OpenBSD, it's
possible that support has slipped behind. Usually, it's
as easy as adding OpenBSD to a couple more #ifdefs, but
sometimes you need to adapt the dmd source also for a rarely
used platform like OpenBSD.
I managed to build the bootstrap dmd without any trouble. Btw the
wiki page doesn't mention that the dependency is *GNU* Make
which is typically installed as gmake on BSDs. Then I tried
building the new dmd and got (in dmd/src):
CC=c++ dmd -of../generated/openbsd/release/64/idgen ddmd/idgen.d
Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file
'object.d'
dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd
-man' for installation instructions.
config file: /etc/dmd.conf
Specify path to file 'object.d' with -I switch
gmake[1]: *** [posix.mak:437:
../generated/openbsd/release/64/idgen] Error 1
Now I'm trying to figure out the /etc/dmd.conf business. I
found ini/freebsd/bin64/dmd.conf in the 2.067 dmd folder so I
guess I'll start from there. Thanks for the help so far.
