Phew! The web page has been updated with a new release.  Major highlights:

* Reported crashes have been fixed
* Update to 0.82
* Compiler no longer requires long double floating point routines
* Included parts of the Boehm garbage collector to get the stack and
  data extents.

The compiler and library now build on Cygwin and FreeBSD.  Other Unix-like environments should work too.

Great! But d/phobos/boehm-gc is dead symbolic link. I think you should use 'tar -cvzhf'.

An extra note: there are some extra build requirements and the install instructions have changed a bit.

Do you have the Java package for gcc? I should have mentioned in the post that it is required now.  When the package is extracted in the gcc directory, the link should point to <srcdir>/boehm-gc.

Why is the Java package required?   You can't compile boehm-gc on MacOS X.  At least it says:

This configuration is not supported in the following directories: .... boehm-gc ...

Anyway I'm still compiling.

gdc 1f allowed me to get phobos compiled.. But now i've got this problem:

--begin hello.d
import std.stream;

int main(char[][] args)
{
       stdout.writeLine("Hello World!");
       return 0;
}
--end hello.d

gdc hello.d -o hello
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/gdc/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin7.3.0/3.3.3/../../../libphobos.a(d_os_dep.o) section's (__TEXT,__eh_frame) type S_COALESCED does not match previous objects type S_REGULAR

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status




Any ideas?   I'm compiling against gcc 3.3.3

I don't know what was wrong, but i desided to try recompiling phobos again.  This time it works.. *Bog*

Excellent!  Shared libraries on Linux appear to work properly now (was crashing on what I assumed was the garbage collecting).

I got gdc compiled using gcc-3.3.3 and gcc-3.4.0, but I can't get phobos to be configured correctly.

./configure outputs:
...
...
configure: configuring in boehm-gc
configure: running /bin/sh './configure' --prefix=/usr/local  'CC=gcc' 'CXX=g++' --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
configure: warning: CC=gcc: invalid host type
configure: warning: CXX=g++: invalid host type
configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time
configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for boehm-gc

Stephan

Try unsetting the 'CC' and 'CXX' environment variables before running configure.  Phobos should be built with the same version of gcc/g++/gdc.
