I'm sorry if this is a wrong place for this question. I've just downloaded a version of GDC package for Mac OS X and trying to compile a very simple file.

This is the error I'm getting:

$ gdmd test.d
/usr/bin/ld: can't open: crt3.o (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any hints? If this is a wring place to ask this question, could you please point me to the right direction?

Thanks!

Hello Igor,

Try perhaps the groups D.gnu and digitalmars.D.learn.

Good luck!

If you downloaded the "gdcmac" package, we need some more background info. Like your version of Mac OS X and Xcode and which PKG you got...
If it was Mac OS X 10.4, Xcode 2.4.1 and gdc-0.20-mac-10.4.pkg it's OK. But if you downloaded the Mac OS X 10.4 package to your 10.3, try again.

This newsgroup, d.D.learn, D.gnu or dgcc/gdcmac issue trackers at SF:

Thank you for wanting to help improve the GDC installation experience.

Anders, thanks a lot, your remark helped. I had Mac OS X 10.4, but the older Xcode, 2.2.1. It's not clear from the documentation that the latest XCode is required, but it seems to be the case. I joined Apple Developer Conneciton program, downloaded the latest Xcode 2.4.1 and - voila - it works now!

Thanks,

Igor

The earlier (0.19) builds for X86/PPC used Xcode 2.2+,
the latest (0.20) build for Universal uses Xcode 2.4+.

Tried to communicate this on the website and installer,
but we probably need to add a pre-install Xcode check ?

PS.
The Tiger Xcode integration is still missing, but hope
to have it up on the web site before the final release.
