D.gnu - Compiling on Mac OS X

reply Drew McCormack <drewmccormack mac.com> writes:
I am trying to get a working D compiler up and running on Mac OS X, but 
I'm not there yet. I downloaded the source for gcc 3.4, followed the 
build instructions, and did end up with a gdc compiler. 

It seems I have to install phobos separately. Is that right?

I downloaded the dmd.zip file, and have the phobos source, but I don't 
really know how to compile it. I just went into the linux version, 
changed the makefile to use gdc instead of dmd, and fired away. 
Compilation failed badly though.

Rather than wasting a lot of time figuring out how to include phobos, 
can someone give me a few quick pointers? Am I going about it the right 
way?

Even better would be if someone has Mac OS X binaries available 
somewhere.

Cheers,

The gdc package contains the customized Phobos source in the 
subdirectory 'phobos'.  The instructions to build it are on the website 
and in the INSTALL file.  Basically, it's just another 
configure/make/make install cycle.

Although compiling phobos on MacOS X currently results in a ICE ( internal
compiler error). Don't bother trying till David releases his gdc 1e patch that
fixes it.  He promised he'd give us it today! *Jumps in anticipation*

I was able to compile phobos with gdc-r1e. In my case, I failed to compile phobos when I tried to compile with the gcc installed with previous version's gdc. But I succeed to compile phobos when I tried to compile with the MacOSX's gcc (/usr/bin/gcc). ------------------ shinichiro.h s31552 mail.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp http://user.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~s31552/wp/

You're running MacOS X? Could you tell us exactly how you accomplished this if you are.
