compile D program error

[creatxr]

I created a D program and tried to compile it .. (using GDC)
but it's error.
I saw the project's build options . in "search directories 's -> linker" it has already a path " E:\MinGW\lib"


-------------- Build: Debug in DDD ---------------
Linking console executable: bin\Debug\DDD.exe
E:\MinGW\bin\ld.exe: crt2.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

Can you compile a D program with MinGW?? AFAIK, the answer is No. So why are you using MinGW to compile and link it??

Use appropriate compiler and the problem should be solved.

Yes, you can.

GDC works with GCC versions 3.3.x, 3.4.x, and 4.0.x.

    * Linux (tested on Fedora Core 5 x86 and PowerPC)
    * Mac OS X 10.3.x, 10.4.x
    * FreeBSD 5.2.1
    * Cygwin
    * MinGW
    * AIX (tested on 5.1)

It's compiled for MinGW gcc-3.4.5 and it works good with this version, but it doesn't work with the DW2-EH enabled gcc-3.4.5.

Yes, you can.

Thanks for the link.

I use MinGW current version ( gcc-3.4.2 etc.)

Is there anything else that needed to configure ?

[Biplab]

Did you install MinGW Runtime Package? If Not, please install it.

It's compiled for MinGW gcc-3.4.5 and it works good with this version, but it doesn't work with the DW2-EH enabled gcc-3.4.5.

Most likely you need to recompile GDC using DW2-EH before it will work.
Mixing DW2-EH and the other method used by normal MinGW GCC do NOT mix well.

I found the problem.
I've to extract file "gdc-0.23-mingw32-gcc-3.4.5.tar.bz2" to MinGW 's home.
although, even if I 've set GDC 's search diretories and additional paths, it does not work.

but why? cound it be thought as a bug?

No, it is NOT a bug, it is how you must install gdc for it to work. At least, an year ago it was how I read you had to install it.
Note, back them I read you have to install it into c:\MinGW for it to work even, but that did not seem to be needed.

I think that it should find the libs after I set the directories .
but it can't.
so I think it's a bug.

I do agree that it is a Documentation issue, but I do NOT think it is a software bug.
It would be nice if it works the way you want, but it might not be easy to do it.

Eventually it was figured out: D.gnu:2252 "Compiler relocation with MinGW"
