Config file in dmd dir prevents host dmd from working #40

Closed yebblies closed 9 years ago

yebblies commented 9 years ago

The autotester places a sc.ini/dmd.conf into dmd's source dir before building dmd, which overrides the host dmd's config file, causing the build to fail.

Possible solutions:

Copy the config file after dmd has been built.
Add a switch to dmd to specify which config file to use?

I guess with host dmd, you mean a system wide installation.

yebblies commented 9 years ago

The one you would use to build ddmd, if you weren't building dmd from source first. The problem is that while you can easily select which dmd to use, you can't ignore the config file in the current directory.

Similarly to #39, this is blocking DDMD

@braddr Could you please update the testers to make the host dmd's config file available in some way? I can use make magic to get it from HOST_DC on posix but I can't see an easy way to do it with dm make .

This works now.
