Building

[dedobbin]

When using DMD (Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS) and following build instructions i run into following errors:

/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/algorithm.d(12775,54): Error: variable range1 cannot be read at compile time

Two things: ~1. Are you sure you are not using GDC as backend compiler? (Don't install dub using apt)~ (It seems you are using DMD by reading your logs)

2. master is the only branch in which I dump everything, try to build a stable version like a tag marked as release like https://github.com/yatima1460/Drill/tree/1.245

[yatima1460]

If it still fails even after building a release tag it could be because you have a 32-bit system or an older version of dmd

[yatima1460]

Also this calls for the idea of using a develop branch

[dedobbin]

Ok, i tried a stable version (tag you mentioned, 1.245) but i got same result

[yatima1460]

Can you post your DMD version?

[yatima1460]

Also it crashes not because of Drill, but because of datefmt, a library I use 🤔

[dedobbin]

Okok. ill mess around with it some more, but seeing how it's external/can't fix, i guess this can be closed?

[yatima1460]

Nono, I want to help you, how can I not help a guy with an Ace Attorney profile pic?

But it's pretty strange that it doesn't build on Ubuntu when both Travis and I use a Debian derivative to build it.

try this:

wget http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.086.0/dmd.2.086.0.linux.tar.xz
7z x dmd.2.086.0.linux.tar.xz
7z x dmd.2.086.0.linux.tar
export DUB="$PWD"/dmd2/linux/bin64/dub
chmod +x $DUB
chmod +x "$PWD"/dmd2/linux/bin64/dmd
cd Source/Frontend/GTK
$DUB build -b release --arch=x86_64 --parallel

[yatima1460]

if you get the same error then I am 90% sure it's your system setup that has problems, maybe you have a wrong phobos lib installed or something

Hey, sorry was a bit busy last couple of days, hope i have some time this week. thanks for the help

[dedobbin]

Yes, that the trick !
