the "hello" test on RedHat 7.3
this is a shared system which I didn't muck with /etc or /usr/lib
I also didn't use the dmd.conf file (I'm an old UNIX guy)
just set your PATH up correctly  (for real work you would use a make file)

$ gcc --version
2.96

$ ld -V
GNU ld version 2.11.93.0.2 20020207
Supported emulations:
elf_i386
i386linux
elf_i386_glibc21

$ dmd -c -I/home/markt/dmd/src/phobos hello.d

$ gcc hello.o -o hello /home/markt/dmd/lib/libphobos.a -lpthread -lm /usr/bin/ld: /home/markt/dmd/lib/libphobos.a(gc.o): bad relocation section name `.rel.gnu.linkonce.t_d_new¿?'

the executable worked fine

$ ./hello
hello world
args.length = 1
args[0] = './hello'
$

Nice work Walter !

It does. Just write dmd and at the very top, there it is. Most likely you have to do dmd |more.

Yes, yes, very nice, thank you so much!

I just tried it on Debian (latest unstable), with
no problem at all!

Cheers,
Sz.

One problem, with samples/d2html though:

On Windows, it prints

    "Error: file 'd2html.kwd' not found"

(no wonder, as I don't have such a file anywhere).

Strangely though, on Linux, it does not complain at all,
it even srites the output HTML file, but before finishing
it, falls in an infinite loop appending empty lines,
then segfaults out.

The segfault is the less interesting thing to me here.
But the difference in handling (File.new()) that missing
file is what needs some attention, I'd guess.

Later,
Sz.
