Can't compile digger 3.0.0-alpha-7+commit.4.g4700560

[Robert-M-Muench]

I really have hard times to get digger compiled... don't why this is giving me so many errors:

| /Users/Shared/develop/d-language/Digger @ imac-pro-559 (robby)

Please note that you need to use `dub run <pkgname>` or add it to dependencies of your package to actually use/run it. dub does not do actual installation of packages outside of its own ecosystem.

Works here. It looks like your DMD and Druntime/Phobos are mismatched. Uninstall DMD, reinstall it, and try again.

[CyberShadow]

You've been here before, haven't you?

It looks like there is a systemic problem in how you install D on your machines. You may want to figure that out.

BTW:

ae/utils/zlib.d(43): Error: constructor calls not allowed in loops or after labels

I fixed this in April: https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/commit/38db46ef1b80d0222b4e7a790fc12e4d42b9cf70

Your Digger checkout is out of date. Pull and update submodules if you want to try building with rdmd.

[Robert-M-Muench]

Ok, so the submodules were the problem. I didn't took these into account when pulling. Now I can build digger. And digger can now (finally) build DMD on OSX. Thanks. Will try on Windows tomorrow.

[CyberShadow]

I assume everything worked out in the end.
