I have a C/C++ cross-compiler (Mac OS X -> SkyOS) so far.  I am working on the SkyOS-specific changes for Phobos.

Good job.

Any more news at this time? The exam period is almost over, and it would be awesome if I could play with D on SkyOS during the Christmas vacation. :)

I'm making progress.  The next release should have at least a native SkyOS compiler.

If I don't get a full release out this weekend, I'll post a binary package.  The problem I have now is that the OS doesn't provide support for garbage collection in multiple threads.  What's the best way to get Robert to add new features?  Ask on the message board?

Make a new thread in the developer forum. Make it as detailed as possible, and I'll make sure he reads it.

I have uploaded an 'unstable' version of GDC for SkyOS:

http://home.earthlink.net/~dvdfrdmn/d/gdc-skyos-unstable.pkg

It installs to /boot/programs/gdc.  Add /boot/programs/gdc/bin to your PATH and you will have the 'gdc' and 'gdmd' commands.

Multithreading is very dicey right now, but other than that, it should be usable.  Good luck!

Awesome! I'll try it once I get back home. Thanks! I'm already working on
a project which I think the D community will learn to love. That is if
I actually manage to do it. Can't tell you what it is yet though.. ;)

Merry Christmas!

I got to try GDC on SkyOS some today, and so far it works almost perfectly. The only remark I have is that the compiler complains that it can't find 'libgphobos.spec'. When I copy the file from /boot/programs/gdc/lib/ to my working folder, it works. Is this a pilot error on my side, or does the file need to be referenced differently somewhere?

Also, did you get Robert to implement to stuff you needed to get multithreading working properly?
