Even better if you want to patch the repositories. Some of these may be out of order, especially the CMakeCache.txt edits, so if anything goes wrong, check the variables mentioned below in CMakeCache.txt, and that your ldc2.conf is correct. Those are the most important two control files.<br>

<br>III. Appendix: Troubleshooting notes<br><br>If anything goes wrong, in my experience it was due to the settings in either CMakeCache.txt, or in ./bin/ldc2.conf Those are the two places I would look at first when troubleshooting.<br>
<br></font></div></div><div>A) When you edit the CMakeCache.txt, be sure to check that PHOBOS2_DIR gets set to ./phobos and not ../druntime</div><div><br># example that works:<br></div><div>jaten@dfw:~$ cat CMakeCache.txt.afarm_works_ldc2 | grep PHOBOS2_DIR</div>
<div>PHOBOS2_DIR:PATH=/home/jaten/pkg/llvm+lldb+ldc/prokhin_alexeys_ldc2/ldc2/phobos</div><div><br># example that DOES NOT work:<br>jaten@dfw:~$ cat CMakeCache.txt.dfw_notwork_ldc2 | grep PHOBOS2_DIR</div><div>PHOBOS2_DIR:PATH=/home/jaten/pkg/ldc2/ldc2/../druntime</div>
<div><br></div><br><div>B) Be sure in CMakeCache.txt you have these three variables
set correctly, with obvious edits for your paths, not mine:<br><br></div><div><div>...<br></div><div>//D language version</div><div>D_VERSION:STRING=2</div><div>...</div></div><div><div>//runtime source dir</div><div>RUNTIME_DIR:PATH=/home/jaten/pkg/ldc2/ldc2/druntime</div>
