Plot2kill won't compile on Manjaro Linux

I'm trying to follow the instructions for compiling Plot2kill as given here. I used yaourt to install GtkD, so I know I definitely have the library. However, when I try

dmd -lib -ofplot2kill.lib -O -inline -release *.d

I get the following error message:

subplot.d(437): Error: module DrawingArea is in file 'gtk/DrawingArea.d' which cannot be read
import path[0] = /usr/include/dlang/dmd

I'm not sure what I'm missing here.

Solution

  • You need to tell DMD where to find GtkD files. The easiest way is to use the -I parameter. Example: -I/usr/include/d/gtk-d. Your command line should be something like: dmd -lib -ofplot2kill.lib -O -inline -release -I/usr/include/d/gtk-d -L-lgtkd-2 *.d
