Yay! I should mention that Ellery Newcomer also had an independent solution. (Sorry Ellery; I'm sure the learning experience was still useful.)

Also note that mine doesn't fail on x86_64

(you need to add glibc-devel(x86-32) specifically as a dependency)

Also, what about hosting a yum repository?

This needs to be fixed. Walter, could you please forward this to Jordi (or better yet invite him to tune to this newsgroup)?

Thanks,

Andrei

Is that the thing that allows me to insert a line in the Synaptic repositories and then benefit of integration goodies? I'd love something like that.

Ummm.. maybe?

Yum is a package manager built on top of rpm, essentially red hat's counterpart to apt-get. I think the idea is each version of dmd as an rpm lives in the yum repository, and as new versions are released, the yum will semi-automatically upgrade the user's install.

The nice thing about it is the user doesn't have to go around looking for the download each time the next release of dmd comes out, although they do have to initially configure their system. Typically, the repository host provides a downloadable rpm which performs that action.

I don't know that it would be particularly useful for synaptic based linuxen (Andrei, see what you've got me doing?) though. Guess we'd have to make a synaptic repo too.

dmd links to ctnrl.o or something like that, which is in glibc-devel and must be 32 bit. If the 32 bit version ain't there, there  be linker errors on compile.

in the spec file, after

Requires:	gcc

add

Requires:	glibc-devel(x86-32)

I know nothing of specific minimum version or anything like that, though.

Synaptic supports both deb and RPM package repositories.
