I am trying to get a working D compiler up and running on Mac OS X, but I'm not there yet. I downloaded the source for gcc 3.4, followed the build instructions, and did end up with a gdc compiler.

It seems I have to install phobos separately. Is that right?

I downloaded the dmd.zip file, and have the phobos source, but I don't really know how to compile it. I just went into the linux version, changed the makefile to use gdc instead of dmd, and fired away. Compilation failed badly though.

Rather than wasting a lot of time figuring out how to include phobos, can someone give me a few quick pointers? Am I going about it the right way?

Even better would be if someone has Mac OS X binaries available somewhere.

Cheers,
Drew McCormack

The gdc package contains the customized Phobos source in the subdirectory 'phobos'.  The instructions to build it are on the website and in the INSTALL file.  Basically, it's just another configure/make/make install cycle.

Although compiling phobos on MacOS X currently results in a ICE ( internal compiler error). Don't bother trying till David releases his gdc 1e patch that fixes it.  He promised he'd give us it today! *Jumps in anticipation*

Hi,

I was able to compile phobos with gdc-r1e. In my case, I failed to compile phobos when I tried to compile with the gcc installed with previous version's gdc. But I succeed to compile phobos when I tried to compile with the MacOSX's gcc (/usr/bin/gcc).

You're running MacOS X?  Could you tell us exactly how you accomplished this if you are.
