Hello,

I was hoping for Travis-CI to provide a set of D compilers for building projects written in D, but alas, they do not.

So, here's a small skeleton project that I'm using for testing my D projects with DMD 2.064.2 and LDC 0.12.1.

It should be straightforward to bring in the relevant parts of the .travis.yml and Makefile into another project; just copy over the .travis_scripts folder, the install and env portions of the config in .travis.yml and it should be good to go.

Oops, forgot to paste the link:

https://github.com/dymk/travis-d-tests

And the Travis-CI page for this project:

We really need to get officially support for D in Travis. I've been thinking about this for a while but haven't done anything about it so far.

Yeah, and this approach of compiling the compilers, even when it might be useful, seems overkill and a bit abusive for Travis. I would contact those guys, maybe they are willing to add D support, I guess it shouldn't be that hard.

Now when I think about it, I've already filed an enhancement request:

https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/730

Now we could install dub as one of the default tools.

Agreed; this was just a stopgap for at least being able to use Travis with my projects. Having to install a compiler as part of the testing process just adds another point of failure to the builds, slows down testing, and unnecessarily consumes resources.

It's not quite that bad. The compilers are already built, I'm just pulling DMD down in the form of a .deb package, and extracting a pre-built LDC depending on the DC environment variable set.

Oh, OK, since the language was set to C++ I just assumed you were compiling the compilers, then it seems pretty reasonable :)

They have added some functionality now:
