Awesome. Thanks for your efforts!

I think you mean:  make install DESTDIR=otherprefix
Yes, that is how you package software in debian, I'd imagine the same here. :-)

GDC requires patches to be applied to GCC-proper.  See patch-gcc-4.6.x and patch-toplev-4.6.x

I'm relatively new to Linux in general but I use Fedora because it has LDC D2 in the software center and comes with a clean Gnome Shell (my favorite DE) by default.

GCC seems to yield better overall runtime performance than LLVM so I'd like to easily be able to use GDC with Mono-D without having to Bash "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gdc/bin" or remember not to delete the gdc folder out of my Home directory.

I have a SRPM which patches and compiles Fedora's GCC package(s). It creates gcc-d (example: /home/dejan/var/rpm/RPMS/x86_64/gcc- d-4.5.1-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm ) RPM, and replaces system's gcc. I had no time to update it for use with later GCC because I decided to wait for GDC to be included in GCC, and then D will be in GCC anyway... :)

If you wish, I can update my SRPM and post it somewhere together with my .spec file.

Thanks for the offer but I think I'll just wait for the GDC to be included in the GCC as well. For now, I can use LDC and DMD with Mono-D fine and terminal compile with GDC when I want that extra umf.

Thanks for everyone's help and input on this.
