I have made RPM packages for installing
the D compilers: DMD 0.109 and GDC 0.8
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html#linux
http://home.earthlink.net/~dvdfrdmn/d/


The DMD compiler is not distributable,
and the GDC is a rather huge download,
so I am only posting the source RPMS...

You can make binary RPMS by adding missing
source files (listed below) to SOURCES, and:
rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 *.nosrc.rpm


You can build and run the Phobos unittest with:
--with unittest
Currently it breaks on: format.d, line 725/730

The unittest doesn't run cleanly on either DMD
or GDC, hopefully this is being addressed for
future versions of the Phobos runtime library ?


I also did manual pages, that were missing ?
(they are also in the .nosrc.rpm files below)

GDC should build for the usual GCC suspects,
but DMD requires Linux and X86 (it's binary).

Share and Enjoy,
--anders


PS. The versions are at the top of the .spec,
so it should be easy to update in the future ?
Hopefully less patches and workarounds will be
needed then too, so "release" can go back to 1...
