I built gdc from the 3.3.2 release of GCC but without Apple's extensions.  This
was a no-no as now I
cannot link with Frameworks (or use any other Apple extensions obviously)... I
am attempting to build
gdc using Apple's GCC avail from
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/gcc
-3.3/gcc/Source-Code.html

Once I had the source checked out, I realized of course that Apple has a Java
front-end for their version
of GCC.  I've no idea if this would be useful to the gdc project because I know
nothing about GCC
internals but I thought it might be useful to see how another front-end for GCC
was built.  After
checkout, look in gcc3/gcc/java

I'll post more info about how I do with building gdc from Apple's GCC sources.
Should be the same
instructions but we'll see.

Thanks, Brian

I will check out the Java front-end.  If you want to link with frameworks, you can the -Wl option to pass the -framework options to the linker.  Example:

gdc -o A7xBoot *.o ../import/imports.a -Wl,-framework,OpenGL
	-Wl,-framework,AppKit -Wl,-framework,SDL
	-Wl,-framework,SDL_mixer

Thanks David.
