Bug 473172 – [gamerlay] games-action/mucade does not build due to D insanity

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description marty rosenberg 2013-06-13 09:16:19 UTC]

mucade's ebuild hardcodes the D compiler to gdmd, which is a gcc implementation of a D complier.  This was provided with the USE=d flag... in gcc-4.1.2
I attempted to re-build gcc-4.1.2 with d support, but this went south, dying with: (guess it hasn't been touched recently?)
checking If /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2/work/build/./gcc/gdc -B/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.

no
configure: error: can't compile D sources!
so I made a chroot with an actual environment from back in 2009 (or so) when building gdc actually worked.  I then created a binpackage from this, and re-tried to install mucade.  this time it died with some missing symbols during linking:

Naively changing the ebuild to use digital mars' compiler gives a bunch of compiler errors:
/opt/dmd/src/phobos/std/conv.d(1468): number is not representable
/opt/dmd/src/phobos/std/c/linux/linux.d(444): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of _SIGSET_NWORDS


Reproducible: Always

"Fixed" by dropping package: 1) real maintainer is lost, 2) gentoo has no "gdc" (D compiler) in sys-devel/gcc.
==
3) Game itself looks abandoned by author too
