Yeah I'm having trouble with that too. Somebody here did manage to build it on Ubuntu, though; we should probably find out what exactly makes it work / breaks it on Debian. GDC really, *really* needs updating in Debian.

I don't know about Ubuntu, but on Debian Wheezy (rc1), GDC 4.8 builds without problems. For GDC 4.7 you need to either use patched GCC sources from Debian repositories or set

CPATH=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

It's hanging round in experimental.

That'ss where I have GCC 4.8 from, but I don't see a gdc in there. Aptitude reports only 4.6.3 in experimental :-(

Am I failing to use Aptitude correctly?

Thanks.

GCC 4.8 seems to have some basic multiarch support now but I can't find detailed information about that. Just using gcc 4.8 should indeed be the simplest solution.

I used to have issue with multi arch. Don't know if it solved or not now.

I can give Matthias a bump, he's probably expecting something off me that I can't provide until next week. :)

So not just me being silly. Excellent :-)

As long as I can say GDC really is in GCC 4.8 on 2013-05-28 then I am happy. Well it would be good to try it out beforehand of course, but…

Thanks.

Can't guarantee it will be in for my birthday, but it will definitely be "in proceedings" for 4.9
