Yes, you can create a makefile now – http://mono-d.alexanderbothe.com/?p=449

Ways are open to send me pull requests – or if you want to contribute even further stuff, I of course can grant you push rights @ https://github.com/aBothe/Mono-D

Concerning makefiles: I’m currently experimenting with how to write efficient makefiles – could you provide me some kind of sample makefile which I could take as ‘template’ for mono-d so there will be a makefile generation utility?
I think it’d be the best if you join #d.mono-d for discussing further details, if you want

I knew that, but `pkg-config –cflags –libs gtkd` provides a better solution
Anyway, I’ll see what I can do.

By the way, is there a way to contribute to the development of the plugin? I would like to help you.

If “pkg-config” shall be passed to the linker, why not write -Lpkg-config ?

What about renaming the library file to libgtkd.a? – I recently heard that all kinds of shared/static libs under linux must include a “lib” prefix – dunno if it’s correct but that might help.

Also, after the error message:

——-
Build successful.
Build failed. Input string was not in the correct format

???

Note that it is –cflags(two – characters)

I haven’t, but doesn’t make sense because I also didn’t when compiling from the command like. I think that dmd main.d `pkg-config –cflags –libs gtkd` takes care of the import stuff. I set it though for autocompletion to work.

The problem seems to be:
Error: unrecognized switch ‘–cflags’
Error: unrecognized switch ‘–libs’

The generated “compiler string” is:
/usr/bin/dmd -gc -debug “gtkd_test.d” -I”/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/dmd/druntime/import” -I”/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/dmd/phobos” -I”/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/dmd/gtkd” -odobj/Debug -of”/home/minas/Projects/D/GTKD/GTKD_Test/GTKD_Test/bin/Debug/GTKD_Test” `pkg-config –cflags –libs gtkd`

Do you see a problem here?

Thank you.

Well in this case.. have you set the gtk include path?

None of the options you can enter in any options pages are checked – so you must have a full awareness of what are you typing in there

I can’t because dmd thinks I’m talking about a D source file. I get an error about missing gtkd.d…

If I am correct, the strings in the “linker options” field or any other fields are checked before dmd is run?

By: alex

why aren’t you surrounding those extended arguments with ” instead of `? Or is this another ability of dmd I never heard of before?

Regarding makefiles: No it’s not possible yet.
