DFLAGS build problems with -release

[joseph....@gmail.com]

Hello all,

Just tried to build from GitHub source for the first time in a little while.

I called cmake using the option -DD_FLAGS="-d;-O3;-release" only to be confronted with the following error during the build:

[ 21%] ldc2: for the -release option: may only occur zero or one times!

... while removing -release from the DFLAGS corrected this.

Would I be right in assuming that the LDC default build process has been tweaked in response to the discussion here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ldc-dev/g3nt-HxVhB8

... and that the default DFLAGS are now -d -O3 -release unless specified otherwise?

Could there be a note on default DFLAGS and how to generate a debug build added to http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_from_source please?

Thanks & best wishes,

-- Joe

By default, both a debug and a release version of druntime/Phobos are
built now, using the extra flags from the
D_FLAGS_DEBUG/D_FLAGS_RELEASE CMake variables. They are set up as
-defaultlib/-debuglib, so the debug library gets picked up
automatically if -g is specified. End users should not have to worry
about this.

Also, from now on please use
http://forum.dlang.org/group/digitalmars.D.ldc for general discussion.
The mailing list interface is still not set up, though, and my plan
was to wait for this before announcing it here.
