July 19, 2002 Port to Linux and/or FreeBSD. | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hello. I've used the Digital Mars C++ compiler under Windows somewhat, and have found it to be an excellent experience. However, at home I tend to do most of my hobby development under Linux and FreeBSD running on PCs. I was wondering if there has been, or will be, a port to Linux and FreeBSD of the C and C++ compilers. This is slightly off-topic, but will there be ports of the D programming language compiler and runtime to Linux and/or FreeBSD? I've looked at the language briefly, and it seems to be pretty interesting. Please pardon me if these questions have been freqently asked. I did a quick search through the site's search engine and at Google (news.digitalmars.com isn't available through groups.google.com) and didn't find any relevant information. Thanks so much, J. Harlough |

Posted in reply to J. Harlough | Good questions. There have been a couple of ports of DMC++ to Linux, but both failed due to lack of interest. There is plenty of interest in a Linux/GNU version of D, and an ongoing project to create one in the newsgroup D.gnu -Walter "J.

Posted in reply to Walter | Have there been? I am certainly interested in using DMC++ on Linux. Or even cross compiling for Linux on a PC, just porting the resulting ELF format file. Any way I could try these earlier ports? To start with, even the older versions will do.

Posted in reply to Rajiv Bhagwat | I would be very happy to have DMC++ on FreeBSD / Linux! Even without the latest and greatest template stuff.
Thanks

Posted in reply to Walter | Thanks for the quick reply. Please keep up the excellent work, both with your C/C++ compiler and the D programming language. J.

Posted in reply to Walter | What can we do (besides nagging!) to help finish the porting? The gcc experience is not good so far, after being spoilt by the DMC speed and convenience. - Rajiv "Walter" <walter@digitalmars.com> wrote in message news:ah9kh5$2qmc$1@digitaldaemon.com... > The ports were never finished. > > "Rajiv Bhagwat" <dataflow@vsnl.com> wrote in message news:ah8bi3$1fj1$1@digitaldaemon.com... > > Have there been?

Posted in reply to Rajiv Bhagwat | I'm just too overextended.

Posted in reply to Walter | Walter makes a good point. There may be an alternative. Let a small group of volunteers work on a Linux port under source code nondisclosure terms of your choice. Draft some terms and have the volunteers sign the paperwork. I'd like to see a Linux release too. -M. In article <ahb3l0$1an4$1@digitaldaemon.com>, Walter says... > >I'm just too overextended.

Posted in reply to Mark Evans | That's a good suggestion. I have a hunch that although gcc is free, people will even pay a small amount for Walter's faster and better compiler. If included on the same CD, it will certainly attract a wider crowd. - Rajiv "Mark Evans" <Mark_member@pathlink.com> wrote in message news:ahp2g3$2mvc$1@digitaldaemon.com... > Walter makes a good point.
