I know this topic has come up in various forms, but no good resolution has yet been codified. I
need to reduce the amount of hand hacking done inside the auto-tester that's specific to visual
studio paths and win64. The local patches conflicted with a pull request that's also trying to do
some cleanup in this area. I just pulled that request and re-did my local changes, but I think the
problem needs to be addressed. The paths wander from version to version, including the directory
structure inside the compiler main directory. IMHO, the makefiles need to stop trying to set the
paths an instead pull them from the environment.
What I've done with the auto-tester is:
1) set in the environment 4 variables:
export VCDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC"
export SDKDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A"
export VCBIN_DIR="$VCDIR\bin\x86_amd64"
export INCLUDE="$VCDIR\include"
2) apply a set of patches to druntime/win64.mak, phobos/win64.mak, phobos/etc/c/zlib/win64.mak that
look basically like:
diff --git a/win64.mak b/win64.mak
index daee7f6..b381a34 100644

A similar one to use the env rather than a hardcoded value in
dmd/test/d_do_test.d.
I hate breaking changes, so any thoughts on how to make this suck less without breaking people
building on win64? Alternately, if you're among the probably relatively few people building on
win64, would you object to this change?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brad
