LDC+Dub+Vibe.d on SmartOS 64bit

1. Create “minimal-64-lts” zone with quota~10G and RAM~4G

2. If internet connection available only behind proxy, add proxy env to .bashrc

• # echo “export http_proxy=http://user:psw@host:port/”>>.bashrc
• # echo “export https_proxy=http://user:psw@host:port/”>>.bashrc

3. Restart bashrc

• # . ~/.bashrc

4. Install needed packages

• # pkgin up
• # pkgin in binutils gmake cmake scmgit python35 autoconf gcc49 gcc49-libs unzip libconfig livevent

5. All manipulations I did from work directory, so create it

• # mkdir work
• # cd work

6. Set git protocol (need if proxy not work with git url)

• # git config --global url."https://github".insteadOf git://github

7. Clone llvm repository and set last release

• # git clone --recursive https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm.git
• # cd llvm
• # git checkout release_38

8. Correct AddLLVM.cmake in ./cmake/modules/AddLLVM.cmake. Change phrase <discard_unused=sections> to <ignore>.

• # vi cmake/modules/AddLLVM.cmake

or simply

• # sed -i '' 's/discard-unused=sections/ignore/g' cmake/modules/AddLLVM.cmake

9. Configure llvm only for one platform because it will be very long time building :-)

• # mkdir ~/work/build_llvm
• # cd $_
• # cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=”Release” -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=”X86” ../llvm/

10. Build and install llvm

• # gmake -j5
• # gmake install

11. For this moment (09.06.2016) in SmartOS package repositories libLLVM-3.7.0 is available. Alternatively you can try to install libLLVM-3.7.0 with pkgin manager, but this path not tested yet. Therefore in this howto used newer release of LLVM, that build from source.

12. Clone ldc and use branch ltsmaster.

• # cd ~/work
• # git clone https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc.git
• # cd ldc
• # git checkout ltsmaster

13. Clone phobos and druntime. For this moment (09.06.2016) pull requests, that already done in branches “ldc-ltsmaster” are enough for using Vibe.d on SmartOS 64bit. Pull requests for working with serial port not commited yet, but if need it is available in https://github.com/tethyslab/druntime.git branch “lts-solaris-serial”.

• # cd runtime
• # git clone https://github.com/ldc-developers/phobos.git
• # cd phobos
• # git checkout ldc-ltsmaster
• # cd ../runtime
• # git clone https://github.com/ldc-developers/druntime.git
• # cd druntime
• # git checkout ldc-ltsmaster

14. Config, build and install ldc

• # cd ~/work
• # mkdir build_ldc
• # cd $_
• # cmake ../ldc

or you can use more interactive ccmake

• # ccmake ../ldc

and inside it:

- type “c” on keyboard

- type “c” on keyboard once again

- type “g” on keyboard

• # gmake -j5
• # gmake install

15. Check for working ldc. Create “Hello world” program, compile and run it.

• # cd ~/work
• # vi hello.d
• # ldc2 hello.d
• # ./hello

16. Clone and build Dub. For this moment (09.06.2016) changes for build Dub included in branch “master”

• # cd ~/work
• # git clone https://github.com/dlang/dub.git
• # cd dub
• # ./build.sh
• # ln -s /root/work/dub/bin/dub /usr/local/bin

or you may copy dub to your choice directory and linked it. Check that it work:

• # cd ~/work
• # dub –version

17. Next build any Vibe.d (since 0.7.30-alpha1) project.

• # cd ~/work
• # git clone https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d.git
• # cd vibe.d/examples/http_server
• # dub build

18. Check that your application works fine

• # ./http-server-example

Enjoy
