Bug 17880 – Build of dlang.org affected by presence of ~/dmd.conf

To reproduce, create an empty file ~/dmd.conf and attempt to build dlang.org: $ touch ~/dmd.conf $ cd /path/to/dlang.org $ make -f posix.mak ... .generated/stable_dmd-2.072.2/dmd2/linux/bin64/dub build --single --compiler=.generated/stable_dmd-2.072.2/dmd2/linux/bin64/dmd assert_writeln_magic.d Failed to invoke the compiler .generated/stable_dmd-2.072.2/dmd2/linux/bin64/dmd to determine the build platform: Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file 'object.d' dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd -man' for installation instructions. config file: /home/andrei/dmd.conf Specify path to file 'object.d' with -I switch When dmd.conf contains (as is often the case) paths to some working directories, the error messages become correspondingly more confusing. When dub takes the --compiler switch, it should invoke the compiler with the config found in its own path.
