Hi

I've been working on a script that produces a working build of gdc against apples gcc-5465. The script will download all the necessary depenancies and produce a destroot/ containing a working gdc  complier. I have used this to build an app .pkg file containing an installable version of gdc for leopard which is >>> this <<< close to working. For reasons that I don't understand it doesn't pick up the system include path, /usr/include/d/4.0.1 so you have to include it manually

[dave@crimson oakland]$ gdc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-apple-darwin9.1.0
Configured with: /Users/dave/devel/gdc-apple/work/gcc-5465/configure --prefix=/Users/dave/devel/gdc-apple/destroot --enable-languages=c,d --with-system-zlib --disable-nls --disable-multilib
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465) (gdc 0.24, using dmd 1.022)
[dave@crimson oakland]$ gdmd -v helloworld.d -I/usr/include/d/4.0.1
parse     helloworld
semantic  helloworld
import    object	(/usr/include/d/4.0.1/object.d)
semantic2 helloworld
semantic3 helloworld
code      helloworld

If anyone can offer any advice on the proper build switches to remove the requirement to have to include /usr/include/d/4.0.1 that would be greatly appreciated.

Feedback and comments are most welcome

Kind Regards

Dave Cheney

ps. you can also download the script here, http://dave.cheney.net/paste/build-gdc.sh
pps. for the extra adventous you can download the package maker file and build your own gdc, http://dave.cheney.net/paste/gdc-5465.pmdoc.tar.gz
