I've run into a problem with my latest attempt to install D. I'm using the second method from the instructions at

http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?D__Tutorial/InstallingDCompiler#InstallingDMDonLinuxX86

I this method has worked for me in the past, but now I'm getting a "object.d: module object cannot read file 'object.d'" message when I attempt a compilation.

The instructions seem fine to me. Nevertheless the error messages says, that the dmd compiler does not find the phobos library source. That usually means that in /etc/dmd.conf the DFLAGS=-I<path> does not point to the right location.

To verify, you can also give this include path directly in the dmd call,
e.g.:
dmd test.d -I<path>
dmd test.d -I/usr/local/lib/phobos

For what it's worth, I've noticed that the use of double quotes in dmd.conf is a risky venture.  If you have any quotes that are unnecessary, remove them.

Thanks, I didn't have a /etc/dmd.conf for some reason.

Hi.

If any body interested in simple instalation of DMD on Debian GNU/Linux.

Try this.

http://smp.if.uj.edu.pl/~baryluk/d/dmddeb/dmd_0.175_i386.deb

Instalation:

apt-get install wget unzip debianutils gcc findutils tofrodos libstdc++5

wget \ http://smp.if.uj.edu.pl/~baryluk/d/dmddeb/dmd-nonfree_0.175_i386.deb

dpkg -i ./dmd-nonfree_0.175_i386.deb

That all :)

If you want to modify something later look at
/etc/dmd.conf
/usr/lib/dmd/src/phobos/
/usr/share/doc/dmd-nonfree/

Binaries will be places in /usr/bin/ (e.g. /usr/bin/dmd)
Library in /usr/lib (e.g. /usr/lib/libphobos.a)

! This deb package have no binary files, only installation script. !

Note: Network connection required for
download when installing. Instalation can fail especialy if you have
installed dmd in another way - not tested well, reports about discovered
bugs please send to me.

In preparation: private deb respository, and eventually oficial upload to debian.

Or eventually build package with binaries included and host in
officialy on http://digitalmars.com/ :)
Walter what are you thinking about this idea?

You can use my private repository.

Add this line
deb http://smp.if.uj.edu.pl/~baryluk/d/debian/ unstable contrib
to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Run apt-get update

And apt-get install dmd-nonfree.

You will need to aprove notsigned package.

If anyone wants i can add also gdc to this repository,
or some d libraries.

GDC Debian packages would be great!

I'm building a package for Ubuntu. Probably NOT going
to use the regular system gcc-4.0 package*, but just
something with C/C++/D and the "vanilla" tarballs ?

Basically just configure as i486-linux-gnu-gcc-4.0
or powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.0, and then package it
up with all required debian/ files and information ?

Installing from the official GDC tarballs or building
it locally should also work OK in the meantime, though.
Or you can convert an RPM package using "alien" tool ?

Not sure how the GDC-in-Debian-GCC lobbying is going...
