The default gdc package on ubuntu 8.04 is d 1.0

(prerelease gdc 0.25 20071215, using dmd 1.022)

I just wonder if there's a D 2.0 build?

Thanks.

gdc is not supporting D 2.0 yet.

but you can check cvs, i saw there are some changes
in preparation.

As far as I heard on many places, D 2.0 is supported
and you can enable it before compilation with
/gcc/d/setup-gcc.sh --d-language-version=2

So compile it. (gdc 0.25 isn't out yet, and as I said check in CVS).

Hi, have anyone really got this working?

I just bought a new 64-bit computer, and installed 64-bit Xubuntu on it. I have a bunch of programs written with D (version 1) and I have earlier used "dmd" for compiling them (some older, but functional version).

---

First I fetched GDC from repository. It can't compile my more complex programs, but that's another case. The simple programs were compiled, but none of them is working, since every "writefln" with more than the format string causes segfault:

	writefln("Hello, world!");	// Works

	writelfn("Number: %d", 1);	// Segfault

Aargh!

---

I went to digital mars web page and retrieved dmd. No luck - it works only with 32-bit libraries :E One second I thought that maybe I should go & fetch also the 32-bit standard libraries to get it working, but I rejected that thought.

---

Allright, then, I went to fetch the GDC sources from SVN. I have tried to get the phobos library configured (I think that the writefln -problem is inside the runtime library), but at the moment with no luck.

	gdcc/trunk/d/phobos$ ./configure
	configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh
in . ./.. ./../..

I'm open for good proposals to get the D compiler to produce executables, that work... Hopefully there will be soon a new release of GDC (for Ubuntu).

It's a known problem with gdc based on gcc >4.1.

These build instructions do work fine for me (they are not Tango specific):

Thanks, I'll check those later.

My first problem was to get old sources to get compiled. Those are made for DMD version 1 and Phobos, and I finally came to a conclusion that there is no other way than to set up a 32-bit chroot'd box for compiling them - yes, it's working now...

I'll fight with GDC later, and I study more about that tango-thing. I like Phobos, because it makes simple programs simple and I really like C- style format strings (!!!), but I'll think that I'll give Tango a chance. Although I'm a little bit worried that Tango is something like C++ standard template library, meaning that you need to write a bunch of code to make simple things working, but in a more complex program it may pay back...

Hi, i've an ubuntu 64 bit too.
In this site http://codeblog.palos.ro/2008/03/27/debian-d-packages-release-3/
you can find some useful packages for x86_64 like tango library and dsss.

With dsss installed, then you can compile dmd for x86_64 easily. I've done it, but not tested anymore...

Hmmh, still no luck, but I'm a newbie with these newer D things. Anyway, that chrooted environment is somewhat working, so I have no hurry to study how to get GDC and those things working :)
