Well, it wasn't quite my first time. ;) I had managed to get GDC to build with 4.7 before, just not git HEAD. > 2. You are at least a month behind on that. Ahhahaha... I must be growing old. Took what felt like a few days off following GDC developments due to being busy with other things, and come back to discover things have changed so much. :-P > a. gdc has been merged in with the gcc source package in Debian. Oooh nice!! Heh, now I know I'm getting old. I haven't even noticed gdc-4.8 being listed among the unstable packages now! > b. 4.8 is in unstable (based off 2.062 though). Well, 2.062 is still better than whatever gdc-4.6 was based on, which IIRC was really old. > c.
