I spent Sunday evening tackling the issue you are speaking of for my own
use. I have attached a patch I created yesterday, for the ubuntu package
from the repository, that should make the package build D2. It contains
everything I have done so far. I haven't tested it much but some simple
tests show it works (so far limited to opening a window with xcb, a writefln
hello world and a simple immutable test to make sure I was dealing with D2).
I essentially wanted a gdc install that I could remove or upgrade without
fuss :-). I am using 11.04 not 10.10 so you might need to tweak the patch
for the older version (the changelog shows recent changes despite the age of
the gdc version).
Follow the below instructions.
1. Execute "sudo apt-get build-dep gdc-4.4" (you might need to install some
of the deb tools and fakeroot if it doesn't, I can't remember the package
names but I can try and figure them out if needed)
2. Execute "apt-get source gdc-4.4"
3. Rename new directory to gdc-4.4-2.052-4.4.5 (not sure if this is
necessary but it is at least a convention and more accurately represents
what I am creating :-) )
4. Apply the patch to gdc-4.4-2.052-4.4.5
5. Delete the archive inside gdc-4.4-2.052-4.4.5.
6. Pull gdc from repo.
7. Compress the "d" directory to an archive named gdc-20110517.orig.tar.gz
(replace the date if you want, just what I called it). Make sure "d" is the
root directory inside the tar. I had issues using KDE's ark to compress too
tar.xz, it wouldn't decompress on build, but it works with tar.gz too so I
went that route.
8. Place the new archive inside gdc-4.4-2.052-4.4.5.
9. Open a terminal in gdc-4.4-2.052-4.4.5.
10. Execute "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot"
11. Go have a snack while it compiles.
12. Should have a gdc-4.4 and libphobos2-dev package sitting in the
directory above gdc-4.4-2.052-4.4.5. (it might ask you to sign it, not
strictly necessary). Install them.
You should then be able to compile with
gdc-4.4 -I/usr/include/d2/4.4 -I/usr/include/d2/4.4/x86_64-linux-gnu -o
<output> <files.d>
Hope that helps :-).
p.s. I can provide my compiled package if people want them. They are 64bit.
