DDT error: D Standard Library [Error: none found]

Question

I have installed dmd and ddt as instructed:

DMD64 D Compiler v2.066.0
Copyright (c) 1999-2014 by Digital Mars written by Walter Bright
Documentation: http://dlang.org/

but when I create a dub project in eclipse, I dot an error that says standard libray not found:

_{(source: p.im9.eu)}

any ideas?

OS: Mac OSX 10.9 Eclipse: 4.4 DDT: 0.10.2

Answer 1

I've also posted a temporary workaround in the discussion group (link):

# cd /usr/share/dmd
# mkdir dummy
# mkdir dummy/bin
# touch dummy/bin/dmd
# launchctl setenv DUB_COMPILERS_PATH /usr/share/dmd/dummy/bin
# killall Dock

Note that the DUB_COMPILERS_PATH variable shouldn't point to the binary itself, it acts like an additional PATH variable, i.e should contain bin dirs.

To make this survive a reboot, add the launchctl line to /etc/launchd.conf:

launchctl setenv DUB_COMPILERS_PATH /usr/share/dmd/dummy/bin

You might need to create it if it doesn't already exist.

This seems to be a reported bug of DDT:

https://github.com/bruno-medeiros/DDT/issues/75

Basically, it boils down to the directory structure of the installed dmd. As they are many distributions and many installers, each one with its own convention, DDT missed some.

They should be added and recognized shortly, in the pending release.

Please follow the reported issue on github/DDT page.
