Is Arch Linux more bleeding edge than Fedora Rawhide?

I did not update the version number in the CMakeLists.txt file. This number is overridden if you build from git therefore I missed to changed this.

Yes, but just a little :).

It's not the first refactoring in the 3.6 development cycle and it will not be the last one. I try to fix these issues fast in git master branch.

It uses rolling release model and there is no mandatory testing channel for [community] packages (only for [core] and [extra]) - D packages usually become available to end users as soon as mirrors update the cache, most often within a few hours from the moment I read upstream release announcement. Don't know much about Fedora Rawhide but is is rather hard to be more bleeding edge than that :)

nice, thanks

Yes, the version number in the source archive is wrong. :-(

And not always :). But it is really easy make your own packages or use one from AUR

This looks like an environment problem. The libstdc++-6.dll is not found - probably it is not in the search path. Can you compile and run a C++ Hello-World with g++ from the same shell?

Anything special in test.d?

I created a simple hello application which runs fine with this command line.
