Packaging Tips
File Locations
Libraries
D packages must install assemblies to %{_libdir} rather than /usr/lib or %{_datadir}.
Header
D package must install header file like .d or .di to %{_d_includedir}/%{name}
Libraries
At this time in D programming only OS X support shared lirbraries. So wait this feature or help ldc project. Feel free.
For build static librarie in D you need use ar and ranlib tools. ldc compiler support GNU strip.
short example from makefile:
DC=ldc
HD=-Hd $(IMPORT_DEST)
DFLAGS_REQ=-c -I ../DerelictUtil
AL_SRC= \
derelict/openal/al.d \
derelict/openal/alfuncs.d \
derelict/openal/altypes.d
PACKAGE_PATH=derelict/openal
all : DerelictAL
$(LIB_PRE)DerelictAL.$(LIB_EXT) :
$(DC) $(DFLAGS) $(DFLAGS_REQ) $(AL_SRC) $(HD)/$(PACKAGE_PATH)
$(AR) rcs $@ $^
$(RANLIB) $@
$(CP) $@ $(LIB_DEST)
$(RM) $@
Macros
All D package need ldc for build and macro file is in ldc package, every package must have ldc in BuildRequire
Include directories
%{_d_includedir} need be used for devel file
%{_d_includedir} define /usr/include/d/ directory
Compiler options
%{_d_optflags} need be used for ldc options
%{_d_optflags} define options -release -w -g
-release disables asserts, invariants, contracts and boundscheck
-w enable warnings
-g generate debug information
