Bug 14961 – v2.067 fails to build with musl libc (on alpine linux)

Created attachment 1545 small patch to fix compilation under musl libc. when building 2.0.67.1 with g++ version 4.9.2/musl libc (on alpine linux 3.2 stable), compilation fails in root/port.c -- seems to be using glibc specific headers. the error message is: root/port.c:586:22: fatal error: bits/nan.h: No such file or directory #include <bits/nan.h> ^ compilation terminated. posix.mak:391: recipe for target 'port.o' failed make: *** [port.o] Error 1 the attached patch "fixes" these errors but not sure if it is the correct way to go about it. It does produce a working dmd executable that prints the help message.

You could try running the test suite: http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD#Running_the_test_suite If it succeeds, you can submit the patch as a pull request: http://wiki.dlang.org/Pull_Requests

FYI since 2.079 a few patches have landed in DMD and LDC that make it possible to compile on Alpine with musl libc. The port: https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ayshui+is%3Aclosed The last one is: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/8020 This also gives a good overview of the status quo, in short it should be possible to use DMD and LDC on Alpine with Musl now. If not, please open a new bug report.
