It's not too bad to build GDC on Ubuntu once you get the hang of it -- here's my technique using the gcc-snapshot package to get GCC sources: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/mailman.1605.1352199912.5162.d....@puremagic.com Note that that post has one small typo in it -- the line that is given as ./setup-gcc.sh ../gcc-snapshot-20121008 should be, ./setup-gcc.sh ../gcc-snapshot-20121008/src Also, note that the gcc-snapshot package has updated since then -- the current with Ubuntu 13.04 is gcc-snapshot-20130330. Finally, the ./configure options listed there are far too extensive. These days, I use simply: ../gcc-snapshot-YYYYmmdd/src/configure --enable-languages=d --disable-multilib --enable-checking=release --prefix=/opt/gdc These days I'm building off the gdc-4.8 branch rather than GDC master, but that may be over-cautious.
