Excellent work! Thank you, David!

Is it possible to build a 64-bit version on any platform yet?  I realize this may be a feature for the future.  Just haven't heard much discussion on that lately.

Thanks again.  I'm eager to give gdc a try.

Maybe not the Windows package, but my MacOS package doesn't have an installer and the Xcode integration info isn't there.

It's fixed now.  Thanks for pointing it out.

Please do continue with gdcmac, it adds greatly to my experience. I just love to only need to worry about the actual task, not how to be able to start tackling the task.

I think there is need for gdcmac, gdcwin, and probably packages for say Ubuntu/Debian, and a few other linux distros as well. The easier, and more "like the rest" it is to install gdc, the more likely that even more people pick it up and use it.

Building a 64-bit version on Linux isn't impossible, for some details have a look at "building GDC-0.18 on an AMD64" in D.gnu (news:2g83l3-mku.ln1@birke.kuehne.cn)

However gdc can currently only produce 32-bit object files.
