Hello guys (and girls, perhaps),

I've written a little bash script to ease the 'pain' (or for that matter shorten the time needed for) of an installation of DMD under Linux. Just unpack the dmd.zip and put the install.sh into the same directory, run it as root, and be happy. :)

Usage:
/install.sh <prefix>

.where <prefix> is something like /usr, /usr/local or where ever you want phobos' sources and dmd to be living.

https://80.108.15.143/svn/ocb/trunks/tools/dmd/install.sh


There's also a PKGBUILD available, written by a friend of mine:

https://80.108.15.143/svn/ocb/trunks/tools/dmd/PKGBUILD

Maybe it helps someone..,
Alex

Why not use wget to download dmd.zip for you?

I could add that too, of course. I'll just ask for switch like -d or --download.

Added a few lines to give the possibility to download dmd.zip via install.sh:

Usage:
/install.sh <prefix> [-d]

<prefix> -> as usual
-d -> Download dmd.zip from http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.zip (DMDZIP_URL)

Yet another update:

I've added some nice output and a cleaning up to the script. I renamed it also to  install-d.sh.

Here's the new link:

I hate newsgroups for not being able to edit posts.. or for that matter: for having to think and read before posting. :P

Here's a working link:

I have to be root?
I'm not the root on my university's linux boxes, is there a workaround?

There's a no-root option available ( --noroot ) for purposes like this. I'd be glad for any further improvement ideas, if you have some.

Below I assume that your home directory is "/home/user".


1) cd /home/user

3) download the current dmd.zip and save as /home/user/dmd.zip

4) unzip dmd.zip

5) chmod +x /home/user/dmd/bin/dmd

6) create the file /home/user/dmd.sh with the following 2 lines:
#!/bin/bash
/home/user/dmd/bin/dmd -I/home/user/dmd/src/phobos -L-L/home/user/dmd/lib $*

7) chmod =rx /home/user/dmd.sh

8) happy compiling, e.g.: /home/user/dmd.sh source.d

Doesn't seem to work with me. Infact there's no reference to "--noroot" inside the script file as far as I can tell.
