hello there,

Just added a paper for cross compiling D on arm linux devices.

https://wiki.dlang.org/Programming_in_D_tutorial_on_Embedded_Linux_ARM_devices

As my english is not that good, every body who find mistakes just try to fix it.

Thanks!

Great article!
How about making a blog post for the DBlog out of this?

A few comments:

The MediaWiki notation for links is [link title] - not Markdown.
Pandoc can convert between markdown and MediaWiki.

You can disable ssl completely by adding `versions "VibeNoSSL"` to your dub.sdl (or `versions: ["VibeNoSSL"]` to dub.json)

The recommended way is to use the official install script (https://dlang.org/install.html)

curl https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s ldc

better use sth. like this, s.t. copy/pasting is easy:

cat > test.d << EOF
...
EOF

For Fedora I found below link to install `gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf`

I'm not OP, but I changed some of the language and fixed the links.

I changed the LDC install instructions to the curl method

I think this reads better now. This was a great idea for a tutorial! Now all we need is a blog post...

Just a little tip, but I would recommend avoiding giving install instructions that vary from platform to platform. The problem is that 2 years down the line, when someone discovers this tutorial, they may discover that the instructions are no longer applicable. That makes the entire tutorial seem outdated. Also, the instructions are hard to verify for contributors, since they probably already installed the programs, so they can't tell if the instructions are outdated or wrong.
Instead, I would recommend giving relevant links to install instructions provided by the program/package creator. That way the instructions are always up to date

All these instructions are not tied to a specified version, it should work for the future. Linux Distribution like fedora/debain/ArchLinux will not change such a package name for installing arm toolchain, as the toolchain package is not like libpng, you may have libpng11 libpng1.2 or what ever, it's just solid package names.

also added dnf way for installing armhf toolchain as the tutorial is mainly based on armhf target.
