Building all of gcc in OS-X is rather massive. Is there a way to only build gdc? I gave "configure" the option --enable-languages=d, but gcc10 seems to build all of gcc and g++ as well.

Hm, I guess I have to build phobos and the runtime with gdc for OS-X as well, to get it to bootstrap.

What is the search path? "> gdc -print-search-dirs" seems to only give gcc search dirs.

I configured gcc10 with:

../configure  --prefix=some_install_dir --enable-languages=d --disable-multilib --with-sysroot=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk

How will you compile the C code, pre-compiled GCC? I'm guessing it's best to use the same compiler.

I have macports. GCC seems to have a 3 stage boostrapping process? There seems to be a flag for disabling it "-disable-bootstrap". I guess I could try that.

Hi,

Sorry, I've only just seen this.  OSX port of gdc is being worked on, it's not so trivial to get set-up, as the last supported version of gcc on OSX is 4.2, and the current release of gcc depends on version 5 or newer.

There's a gcc-7.2 bootstrap tarball, but the library needs a little more testing.

Iain.

Alright, I'll probably fool around with ldc for now, and look at gdc again at the end of next month. You've been very helpful, thank you. :)
