Ready-to-run packages for MinGW and Xcode have been posted at:
http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net and http://gdcmac.sourceforge.net

Basically the same as the tarballs, but assume that you already
have the components from MinGW GCC-3.4.5 or Apple GCC-4.0.1...

Potentially stupid question...  How do I use the MinGW package with tango?

gdc *.d -I $TANGOIMPORTDIR
Error: no property 'toUtf8' for type 'object.TypeInfo'
...

Not stupid question, the MinGW GDC package will overwrite your
object.d and libgphobos.a - so you probably have to reinstall
Tango. The patch for SVN 139 should be valid for GDC 0.24 too.

The "easiest" would probably be to save a copy of those two
before doing the upgrade, and flip them back after it's done.
But the package doesn't do this for you automatically, sadly.

I'm not familiar with the patch for sVN 139.  Can you expand on this?

Actually, I was using dmd prior to this.  I don't have a previously working copy of gdc with tango.

It used to work like this: the regular version of Tango worked
with the GDC 0.23 version. If you wanted to use a newer version
(such as "revision 139" from the "SVN trunk" - i.e. Subversion)
then you applied the Tango patch that was found in "patches/".

OK, then you only need to install Tango according to the manual.
(the patch above probably won't be necessary when the supported
version of GDC is 0.24, probably by next Tango release or so ?)

For the information of those who care, Tango has a patch to support 0.24, and will be updated properly after the conference. I don't have time before.
