Excellent news.

Are there any RPMS for openSUSE and/or Fedora about? If so where do I get them and are they for a specific version? If not then I've been maintaining some for my personal use, if that is of use I'd be glad to provide spec files or whatever is needed to get them out there for easier installs for people in the future (I also have old version of debs for ubuntu which worked last time I used them, months ago).

I pushed (again) the changes needed for 64-bit Mac OS X,
updated for druntime and phobos2. Will see about MinGW64.

Mostly about DMD the only compiler and i386 the only arch,
and making assumptions based on that in the "OSX" branches.

Pushed the 64-bit Windows changes too, compiles but crashes.
gdc (GCC) 4.6.2 20110913 (prerelease gdc 0.30, using dmd 2.055)

Fortunately one doesn't need Windows, in order to use MinGW...
Didn't bother with 32-bit or D1, probably has similar issues.

--anders

PS.
My Mac/Win fork at http://bitbucket.org/anders_f_bjorklund/gdc
including the previous patches (not yet merged into the main)

is there somewhere an up-to-date repo with gdc in compiling d2? the precompiled ones I tried were all for d1 and the one I tried to compile failed with "your c compiler isn't capable of compiling"

I'm not doing any more precompiled/binary installers. Check your distro?
But for MinGW, I'm now instead using http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/

I'm using debian testing and there is a gdc in the repositorys but it's only
compiling d1.
I followed the exact instructions to compile my own version and failed. I'm
going to try again and post the results.

This doesn't show the real error, it should be somewhere above in the log.
