Does not build on Ubuntu 18.04.1 - Neither v.0.8.12 nor v0.8.5

Try 1, using:-
dub fetch dlangide
dub run --build=release dlangide

Try 2, using:-
git clone --recursive https://github.com/buggins/dlangide.git
dub build

Try 3, using:-
dub clean-caches
dub upgrade --force-remove
dub build --force

First error is
../../.dub/packages/dlangui-0.9.178/dlangui/3rdparty/dimage/stream.d(226,16): Error: module string is in file 'std/c/string.d' which cannot be read
Which I can fix by editing Line 226 from import std.c.string; to import core.stdc.string;

But a further build fails on (possibly) a lot of Deprecation errors, which I have no idea about.

Anyone any suggestions
Thanks

I ran into this same issue (on Windows 10 & a fresh Linux Mint 19 install)

I was able to get around it (at least on Linux, haven't tried Windows yet), by:

  1. making that same edit to stream.d
  2. using ldc as the compiler, instead of dmd.

try: (for Ubuntu and derivatives)
sudo apt-get install ldc
dub run --build=release dlangide --compiler=ldc2

I still got a ton of deprecation warnings in the build, but it worked.

FYI, it looks like either dub or dmd might be crashing in the default command line. You can se a bit more information if you add --vverbose (yes with 2 v's ) to your dub command line. it looks like dub is hitting an internal exception during the build process.

Hi,
I've just found same... A dmd compiler failure, with:-

dub build --verbose -f -b release

FAIL .dub/build/default-release-linux.posix-x86_64-dmd_2082-822726CD45D593565748BD53F4E8A8BD/ dlangide executable
/usr/bin/dmd failed with exit code 1.

I'll try the ldc complier as you suggest.
Thanks

Thanks, built and running now.
Thanks for writing up the commands
First time with D, pity it isn't more widely promoted, as I can't see why Golang would be better!
I'm feeling all nostalgic for Zorland C

I agree completely! I really like D, though I have not used it extensively. I have used Go a little professionally, and while it's ok, I don't think it deserves quite as much hype as it gets.

Yeah! I've used many programming languages, such C/C++/C#/Java/Python. This project is somewhat unsafe, because the D compiler is updated continuously. Maybe in future versions something concrete can be done. I think nothing can be done, however I started a IDE program made in C# that has pretty much everything you need at the moment, except for the debugger.
I don't know how to program a debugger, thus, I will convert DCD's debugger from Dlang to C# and build it.
