Actually it was 10.3.8, but there's not really any real difference.

"Panther"... BTW, 10.4 Tiger - with GCC 4.0 - was announced today!

I don't think you need to do that. You can release this as gdc 0.11 ?
And then release DMD 0.120 compatibility as gdc 0.12 "pre" instead...

This is most *excellent* news! Now you can build a link D programs
with regular C libraries and system frameworks, without the need
for a custom GCC build installed on the system. Works just great!

The download/install also shrinked considerable, compared to 0.10:

Binaries:
8.0K    /opt/gdc/bin/dmd
288K    /opt/gdc/bin/gdc
2.0M    /opt/gdc/include/d
2.3M    /opt/gdc/lib/libphobos.a
4.0K    /opt/gdc/lib/libphobos.spec

4.0K    /opt/gdc/share/man/man1/dmd.1

2.1M    gcc-g++-3.3.5.tar.bz2
788K    gdc-0.11pre1.tar.bz2

One might even consider "promoting" GDC back up to /usr again...
Since now it wouldn't interfere with the system C/C++ compilers.

But compiling D is now as simple as a /opt/gdc/bin/gdc, anyway.
D usability on the Mac OS X platform climbed up a whole ladder!


Now all we need is those D name-mangling patches for GDC,
but they seem to be coming along just nicely on Dsource ?

A mingwn build soon to follow :) ?

Tried the pre-release with my example large file. cc1d reports:

virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory

Even though I have ~350M phisical free memory as shown by top.  gdc fails after about 250M allocation.

What's the flag I should pass to "configure" to build a debugging version of gdc?  I can try to generate the stack trace of gdc itself when it fails.  Do you think this will help?

Because this was a pre-release and there are still some outstanding issues, I didn't want to announce it just yet... But yes, you can at least build a cross compiler with a mingw32 target now.  I haven't tried a native build under MSYS/Cygwin.

BTW, this is the only cross target currently supported 'out of the box'.

I still need to fix some bugs and update the documentation (including your man pages ;-)

A stack trace will definately be helpful.

Setting the CFLAGS environment variable to '-O0 -g' before running configure should work.  You could also uncomment 'D_CC_FLAGS += -O0 -g' in d/Make-lang.in.
