I just tried building dmd on OSX and encountered a couple of problems:
1. Running "make -f posix.mak install" on dmd errors out because
the file ../ini/osx/bin64/dmd.conf does not exist. The issue is bin64
does not exist, it is simply bin. Either we need to rename the
directory or modify the make file to skip model identification for
osx. Offending line is 649 of posix.mak which reads "cp
../ini/$(OS)/bin$(MODEL)/dmd.conf $(INSTALL_DIR)/bin/dmd.conf".
Sorry, that was my fault, I wasn't aware that OSX and Windows use a
different folder layout, but it's a good example for unnecessary
inconsistencies.
I'll prepare a fix.
2. Running "make -f posix.mak install" on druntime produces the
error "make: ../dmd/src/dmd: No such file in directory". This occurs
because the dmd binary is moved to "../install/bin" during step 1
above. Changing line 46 from "../install/bin/dmd" fixes the problem.
It should copy not move the binary, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Anyways the install targets are something to work on for future
releases. This time we should focus on create_dmd_release which doesn't
depend on the install target.
4. Attempts to build create_dmd_release produces the error
"function core.sys.posix.sys.stat.chmod (const(char*), ushort) is not
callable using argument types (immutable(char)*, uint)". In this case
I am using Martin's fork which is a more current than what's in
D-Programming-Language/installer but the same error exists in both
places: line 1511 in the former on 1503 in the latter.
I fixed each issue in several branches and created individual pull
request for them, this one is addressed in
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/33.
There is also a branch which has them all merged,
https://github.com/MartinNowak/installer/tree/merge_fixes.
Currently the vagrant build script uses precompiled create_dmd_release
binaries, to skip the bootstrap step.
I'll still have to work on automatically getting the extra release
binaries from old dmd.zip releases.
