Any chance we might see a GDC Fedora .rpm at some point? I'm
relatively new to Linux in general but I use Fedora because it
has LDC D2 in the software center and comes with a clean Gnome
Shell (my favorite DE) by default. If I had more experience I'd
try to build one myself, only I just got GDC to compile a month
ago and I still don't know how to install it (like the LDC is
installed) so I think I'm a bit too green just yet. GCC seems
to
yield better overall runtime performance than LLVM so I'd like
to
easily be able to use GDC with Mono-D without having to Bash
"export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gdc/bin" or remember not to delete the
gdc folder out of my Home directory.
I have a SRPM which patches and compiles Fedora's GCC
package(s). It creates gcc-d (example:
/home/dejan/var/rpm/RPMS/x86_64/gcc-
d-4.5.1-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm ) RPM, and replaces system's gcc. I
had no time to update it for use with later GCC because I
decided to wait for GDC to be included in GCC, and then D will
be in GCC anyway... :)
If you wish, I can update my SRPM and post it somewhere
together with my .spec file.
Thanks for the offer but I think I'll just wait for the GDC to be
included in the GCC as well. For now, I can use LDC and DMD with
Mono-D fine and terminal compile with GDC when I want that extra
umf.
Thanks for everyone's help and input on this.
