Command:
gdc -O2 -o nohii nohello.d

Program (nohello.d):
int main(char[][] args) {return 0;}

Error:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: crtbegin.o: No such file: No such file or directory

I can add crtbegin.o, crtend.o, and the -L and -l for libgcc; but each produces more errors.  The blind search ends when I get multiple definitions for a symbol.  I've tried other paths such as gdc then gcc.

What is the proper way to compile with gdc?  Or is it misconfigured?

Disclaimer: This is newbieish. First question. I'd like to do the following.

float[3] Torus(float[2] P) {
    ...
}

I can't do that, so what's the "next best thing". I don't mind classes but it would be nice to be able to prototype it with just arrays in a safe way.

Second question. Is it possible to use templates to parameterize a function with values. Something like

template Tori(a : float, c : float)
{
    float[3] Torus(float[2] P)
    {
        ...
    }
}

Or should I use a higher-order function with delegates for that?

Bonus question :) - Where can I find a good webresource to read about templates in general and preferably specifically in D.

The original command is all you should need.  Try running 'gdc -v' and 'gcc -v' and see if the version numbers and install directories match up.

Yes I also had that problem when compiling gcc.

The lazy solution was to copy the crtbegin.o and crtend.o into every directory grom the gcc source tree.

But I later found that running
"DESTDIR=installation_directory make install"
or "sudo make install" if you are fine with it going into /usr/gcc-3.4
fixes this issue.

They didn't; so I upgraded.  Thanks.
