In the process of trying to compile MiniD with GDC, I had to bring GDC up to date with the latest DMD.  It's probably slighly (very) broken, but it worked well enough for my purposes.

Figured somebody else might have use for it.  The patch from 0.19 is attached.

I've been doing a similar effort at
http://gdcmac.sourceforge.net/diffs/

Haven't updated in a while, though.
(will get around to doing that now)

Hey I can't compile miniD in DMD 0.164 and 0.163.
in the directory svnrepo\minid\trunk run the command:

D:\DIGITA~1\dmd\dsource\minid\trunk\minid>svn update
At revision 52.

D:\DIGITA~1\dmd\dsource\minid\trunk\minid>svn status

D:\DIGITA~1\dmd\dsource\minid\trunk\minid>cd ..

D:\DIGITA~1\dmd\dsource\minid\trunk>build minid\compiler.d
minid\state.d(42): no property 'Type' for type 'MDValue'
minid\state.d(42): MDValue.Type is used as a type
minid\state.d(42): cannot have parameter of type void
minid\state.d(47): no property 'Type' for type 'MDValue'
minid\state.d(47): MDValue.Type is used as a type
minid\state.d(47): cannot have parameter of type void
minid\types.d(73): enum MM is forward referenced

but i test that usage in my file doesn't generate that compile error...
with a static public enum Type inside a struct and then a class method in another module use that Type as its parameter's type won't generate that error..

really confused.

ah, the build is buggy.
i use the command suggested in compile.bat and manually typed as follows success:
dmd -debug -g -ofcompiler.exe -I. state.d types.d compiler.d opcodes.d

I suggest that batch file should written in that style, maybe i would go to look into build what the wrong is

I didn't say that I actually got MiniD working ;)

I'm discussing the problem with upstream.

I forgot to mention - for this to work, you'll probably have to DeWindowsify the GDC sources like so:

find d/ -type f | xargs perl -pe 's|\x0D||g' -i
