It also doesn't work.

Looks like the source hasn't been posted, only binary images.

BTW, the github site doesn't appear to be up to date (according to the VERSION file).

Here is the exact link I used. It is the source and binaries together. http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.071.0/dmd.2.071.0.linux.tar.xz

http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.071.0/dmd.2.071.0.zip is a 404.

I know the all-platform .zip files are wasteful, but any practical reason for removing them? Unless the hosting cost is not negligible, breaking existing tools/scripts may not be worth it.

You need the module to be contained in a package. It's pretty old, AFAIK.

Thanks to everyone who worked on fixing and pushing this through. I thought I would never see the day when this was finally fixed.

It's all in the same module, I don't see how a protection attribute can affect anything.

So glad to see these fixed!

BTW, a re-link to my blog article on this in case people want a detailed explanation:

Thanks. That's good to know. I've updated the FreeBSD port to fetch one of the files (I chose to use the freebsd-64 file  but it can use any of the other files) and use it to build the port/package.

It builds and packages nicely.
