Any news about updating to DMD 0.166 "RC" ?

Or about providing RPMs for Fedora Core 5 ?

I was gonna ask about deb's but...

Can't you use alien to convert it to rpm? I just did it for deb and it worked fine. First I had to convert the tar.bz2 to tar.gz (slackware format), but once it was in tar.gz alien made the deb package.

Nah, I had made RPMs for Fedora Core 5 and just wondered if they could
be posted to the "dgcc" project without me having to start a "gdcrpm"...

In your deb, did you just wrap the "gdc-0.19-linux-i386.tar.bz2" or did
you compile the gcc/gdc from source code ? (I built mine, in my package)

I'm working to creating a standard ubuntu/debian package for gdc
compiling gcc from source.
Have anybody done it yet?

No I didn't compile it. I just used alien to convert it from a slackware package to a debian package.

I've looked at building packages from source, but I always run away once I look at the creation process. Seems like an awful lot of work just to copy files to bin, lib, and include (yes, I know it does more than that).

Not that I know of, but I know of two people (not me included) that will use it and be grateful from day 1.

It is apt we speak about right? You have to forgive my Linux unawarenes :).

Sure, something like: apt-get install gdc-4.0 and then you can use gdc
on your system.
I've already done the configuration files but now the compiling process
is stopped due to this bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1561040&group_id=154306&atid=791252
I hope that it will be fixed soon so the packages can be created...

Can't you use GCC 3.x ("compat") to bootstrap GDC with e.g. GCC 4.0.3 ?

Sure i can try it: i can use gcc-3.4 to compile gcc-4.0 with gdc
support.
Until now i tried to build gcc-4.0 with gdc support using gcc-4.0

Stay tuned!

I had to use GCC 3.2 - since GCC 4.1 doesn't work with GDC yet -
it should work with GCC 4.0 but I think you had a patched version ?

Anyway, bootstrapping GCC is a great way to make it run when the
system compiler is either too old (Red Hat 7.3) or too new (FC 5)
