Hello,

Can I try D language on Gentoo Linux?

How do I do?

I'm new to D language, I've never seen D language,
since yesterday.

Yesterday I read  about comparison C/C++ --> D, but I don't know if "D" binary execution is much faster than "older" C/C++ language.



Is D language free to use?
If I want to build a simple application, for example in GPL license, can I develop application without any problem?

thanks for reply,

bye,
  TorbaX.

Maybe this will help you.. http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/D/gnu/574.html

I just found it doing a google search.

Also note that the stock dmd compiler runs fine on Gentoo Linux (0x86 only).  I've been using it with Gentoo for the last couple years.

Yes, but not in Portage. You have to manually put it somewhere in your system and do "ebuild myphobos.ebuild digest", before you can do an emerge.

PS The ebuilds are attached to the corresponding bug reports at the Gentoo Bugzilla (just search for DMD or GDC). The last updates there are somewhat old, but just changing some version numbers should work.

TorbaX, one of the easiest ways is this:
1) cd /tmp
2) wget http://gnu.nu6.org:8000/files/install.sh
3) chmod 700 install.sh
4) ./install.sh 132    (must be root for this)

I am using install.sh on my two Linux boxes to upgrade dmd, and also know quite few guys from #D on FreeNode ( irc://irc.freenode.org/D ) who are using it as well.

Kind regards
