It seems to work just fine? Object files get dumped into the output
dir just like with dmd.
E.g.:
gdmd -odsubdir test.d

I think 'subdir' must exist for that to work, but I might be wrong. It's only a perl script so in theory should be easily solvable by anyone willing. :~)

Well, here's the situation.  I've pulled a copy of the SciD code[1] and tweaked the build script to replace dmd with gdmd.  The essential build command is,

   gdmd [a lot of sources] -lib -odgenerated -oflibscid.a

... which if run, produces the "generated" subdir but places the output file libscid.a in the current directory.  This happens consistently, even if the "generated" dir already exists.

The building of headers using the -Hd option works correctly.

Ah, cool.  This fix didn't make it into the 4.6.3 release, I take it. :-(

It'll be in 4.7.0 and later. :)

Cool. :-)  Are there any plans to maintain a PPA to package this for earlier Debian/Ubuntu releases?  Could be tricky I guess, as these only have GCC 4.6 and earlier.
