Many thanks Eles! :-) But believe me when I say that it's very easy to do this work with dmd, and Walter.


BTW, d-apt repository will change its path. I'll give more information when available.

As a Fedora user (well Korora spin), Thank You! :)

+1 here

yeah DMD is easy to use in linux.  I have installed and used it in several Linux distros and everytime it has just worked.  I just installed DMD on Slackware 14 x86_64 and it was a copy/paste of the binaries fix up the paths in dmd.comf and Hello World just compiles and runs.  The only issue I have is that I am wondering why I cannot compile hello world with -m32.  I get linker errors.  Anyway this is not the thread for this.  I will post the output to the proper location later.  I must say it's not really hard to install and use dmd on any OS that it supports of course I have not used it on Mac OS but I have used it on Freebsd and that was a piece of cake even had the gtkd lib working without too much trouble.  Most of the libraries are being built today with Linux in mind I have noticed so really if your on Linux your in the sweet spot for dmd if you ask me.

Have you installed 32bit libraries? That would be gcc-multilib and ia32-libs on Ubuntu. On Debian 7 and later it will be "dpkg --add-architecture i386" and "apt-get install <package>:i386".

You can install it exactly the same on Mac OS X.
