What's the difference between gdc and gdmd? I've seen both on here and updates posted by different people. They both seem to be d compilers that interface with gcc somehow. Am i confused? What's DLI also? Is dli now known as gdmd? What's going on?!? I'm so confused. |

(I haven't followed up the names really, so you'll have to excuse me in that matter) DLI was written by Burton Radons a long time ago (over a year ago, I think) as the first D compiler for Linux. It's no longer updated. gdmd was promoted as being developed, by before it was completed (I think before it did something really, really important. I know it compiled some programs but not much else), gdc was announced as being almost fully functional. Bottom line is you should download gdc and not worry about anything else. ----------------------- Carlos Santander Bernal |

The one to use is gdc since it is way way way more complete than gdmd. DLI is probably also obsolete but it might have some nice experimental features or ideas that you could look for if you are curious. -Ben |
