@GrahamcOfBorg build ldc dmd dtools dub

Can somebody please check if the current state of this PR works on macOS?
I upgraded my machine to Mojave and dmd does not build anymore.
I would like to know it it was indeed the updgrade to Mojave.

dmdBuild fails for me: https://gist.github.com/4e91fbbc81327745b36d81d0bce7946d

Thanks!
Yes that's the problem. What version of macOS do you use?

Btw. what's going on on hydra? All darwin builds fail with "canceled by user".

10.13

All evaluations (even older ones) were stopped just few hours ago I would guess that they were terminated to drop current backlog. I could find a mention of an issue on IRC https://logs.nix.samueldr.com/nixos/2019-02-18#1971702;

Wow, just wow.

I found the commit which introduced the build failure for dmd: ca1062e

It's a changed documentation/comment in the make-wrapper. 😵

https://forum.dlang.org/post/diycgerwjablujwsfrcs@forum.dlang.org explains a bit the details about what is dmd trying to do.

@ThomasMader This is certainly a nice find, but do you have an explanation for what is going on?

Not yet but that commit seems not to be the correct one.
When I rebase my PR branch to ca1062e~1 I get the same error.
If I do the same on master branch I get a download for dmd package.
So it's probably something machine specific and I need to redo my bisect because I marked as good when a download was available.

Ok let's get this into master for now before the branch off. It's important to update the packages to the new versions and all the other changes make everything much more resilient.

The dmd problem with the "-run" parameter on macOS is not understood yet but I disabled the failing tests for now to get a working build and this situation is better than what is currently in master.
I was able to reproduce that I can not successfully build revisions to which there are packages on hydra from master. So it has something to do with the machine.
I will analyse the problem further and open a PR or issue depending on the outcome and link back to this PR as well.
As I did not include the error message here yet here it is:

/var/tmp/dmd_runWK6b1G: Permission denied
core.thread.ThreadError@core/thread.d(3197): Unable to load thread state

It happens when dmd is used with the -run parameter which compiles, links and runs the program without leaving any files on the machine. As it is not used as heavily and not needed at all for building other packages it's not a blocker.

I've tried to rebuild this on macOS. This time I get a failure in dtools: https://gist.github.com/veprbl/3e0be30bd86142418232f6bf1ff57147

Sorry, forgot to build dtools on macOS. Fixed it by disabling the only test which was using the -run parameter for now.

I also changed the names you suggested.

I think you squashed two dub-related commits so the new commit message "dub: Disable network tests because they add impurities" doesn't mention the version bump.

No dub stayed at the same version because there is no new version yet.
I really disabled only the network tests and the rdmd test because of the -run issue.

@ThomasMader Thank you!
