#35 D examples does not compile with dmd-2.083.0

[Takeshi Enomoto]

A number of D examples does not compile with recent dmd. I was unable to fix x16d.

In addition
plplot-d.pc should remove

Requires.private: plplot

and replace

Libs: -L"${libdir}" -lplplotdmd

with

Libs: -L=-L"${libdir}" -L=-lplplotdmd -L=-lplplot

I was careless in making grammatical errors in the title and the text. I'd like to fix them but I cannot edit.

To Takeshi Enomoto:

Thanks for your patch which has inspired development of a whole new topic branch for PLplot!

For that topic branch I can currently test the D examples part of your patch which for gdc gives perfect configure, build, run-time AND difference report (where we compare results of D examples with corresponding C examples) results. So that is a promising start to this topic, but before pushing this topic to our master branch (for eventual release) I want to make sure all these example changes work for all three of gdc, ldc, and dmd for our three different build systems (for our core build of the D binding and examples with CMake, for our build of the installed D examples against the installed D binding with CMake, and the build system you used for your test (our build of the installed D examples against the installed D binding using the traditional Makefile + pkg-config result)). So there is likely a lot more work for me to do on this topic (see the initial discussion of this topic at https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/mailman/message/36740712/). Anyhow, if you are interested in how that topic is progressing or any other PLplot development topic, I suggest you subscribe to the plplot-devel mailing list.

Dear Alan,

I maintain plplot port for MacPorts. I found the problem when I maintain the port. Thank you very much for a kind to the developer mailing list. I will subscribe the list with my macports.org account.
