I run OpenBSD on my workstation/study-PC. I was shocked when I
couldn't find dmd or even gdc in the packages.

I have read a little bit and found some mention of gdc working on
OpenBSD. But how? I see no mention of it in OpenBSD docs/faqs.

I am content with either dmd or gdc, I don't think it would
really make much of a difference with the trivial programs I
would be developing.

Please help!

DMD supports FreeBSD, I would guess GDC does as well. I don't know how similar OpenBSD and FreeBSD are but it might be easy to get D working on OpenBSD.

FreeBSD and OpenBSD are two totally different operating systems. I would say FreeBSD is more popular (and might include dmd and/or gdc ports) but I love and use OpenBSD.

Any other ideas?

Both are POSIX-compliant, no? That should mean that DMD and GDC will both build and run fine. (Not sure if there are any potential runtime issues.)

Yes, they are both POSIX-compliant. Building is a last resort, I would like to know if there are any binary package options.

After 15 days, no news from anyone?

Strange, I don't see your message... Is there a way we can ask someone to realize a dmd/gdc port for OpenBSD then?

There are no binary packages available for gdc to my knowledge.  OpenBSD may not be recognised as being supported, but that is a front end implementation issue.

I'm considering to switch to FreeBSD and (again) use D, but
freshports.org's info is not thrilling
(http://www.freshports.org/lang/gdc/):

- gdc 0.24_6
- BROKEN: fails to build
- DEPRECATED: Broken for more than 6 month
- EXPIRATION DATE: 2013-08-28
- IGNORE: is marked as broken: fails to build


Nobody uses GDC on FreeBSD?


Sincerely,
Gour
