Hey, I'm looking for someone who masters well GDC options to contribute to a tool for Coedit that converts DMD options to GDC options, either directly in a D project or here, on the NG, through posts.

The project:

https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit/tree/master/cegdcldc

Currently there's only the skeleton. If someone is interested , the thing to do is `void convertToGdc()`. Actually the skeleton is obsolete because it still contains the code for LDC while it's not required (http://forum.dlang.org/post/equsfqozpqbduvpqggcz@forum.dlang.org). You should get the goal anyway.

gdmd is part of the gdc package. It takes dmd options.

I can't see it. I have downloaded gdc from the "choose compilo" page, archive is "gdc-5.2.0+2.066.1.tar.xz", what's wrong ?

from here more exactly:

It's not included in the http://gdcproject.org/downloads/ packages, but it is included in Archlinux and Debian packages IIRC.

I could ship the gdmd script with the binary releases but it's a perl script and I'd rather have an alternative which doesn't need perl installed.

Ok, I thought it's distributed with GDC. Clearly a sript is not an option for me.

The GDC command line interface doesn't look like a piece of cake...600 lines to translate DMD options, ouch. My proposition still stands but I'm sorry if it looks abusive...the fact is I've never used GDC at all.

It's not just a one-to-one conversion of command-line switches, it's also behaviour that needs to be mimic'd too.

I understand.

If anyone read this topic: don't bother. I've decided not to support GDC for the moment. Since it concerned only my own project format this doesn't matter that much.
