Bug 19373 – can't link dmd on macOS

Created attachment 1715 linker errors make -f posix.mak fails with a long list of missing symbols, please find output attached

Works for me. I noticed this in your output: ld: warning: ignoring file ../generated/osx/release/64/backend.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): ../generated/osx/release/64/backend.a Do you have some leftovers from a previous builds?

I've tried compiling with DMD 2.081.0 to 2.083.0.

I also have this problem.

My list of missing symbols is much shorter though: Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "movregconst(CodeBuilder&, unsigned int, unsigned long long, unsigned int)", referenced from: regwithvalue(CodeBuilder&, unsigned int, unsigned long long, unsigned int*, unsigned int) in backend.a(cgen.o) "reghasvalue(unsigned int, unsigned long, unsigned int*)", referenced from: simplify_code(code*) in backend.a(cod3.o) ...

... and it works now. I suspect it is related to the recent backend changes. Make sure you run make -f posix.mak clean and try again with git master.

Are you still experiencing this? If not please close.
