The install guide at:

http://gdcproject.org/wiki/Installation

is wrong/outdated, at least for Ubuntu.

Several issues:


/usr/src/gcc-4.7/gcc-4.7-4.7.2

is not true. The sources are installed in the current directory, 
not in /usr/src, at least for regular users.


"debian_patches += gcc-d-lang", and comment it out

there is no such file as debian/rules.patch, only a 
debian/gdc.preinst, which has no patch line inside.



there is no script update-gcc.sh

Finally, the script gcc-setup.sh has as sole help:

Usage: ./setup-gcc.sh [OPTION] PATH

which is quite cryptic. [OPTION] field should be... optional, 
however when called with:

./setup-gcc.sh ~/gcc/gcc-defaults-1.120ubuntu8

it says:

error: invalid option 
'/home/e_ftotir/gcc/gcc-defaults-1.120ubuntu8'

Thanks.

The only exception to Debian/Ubuntu is that they are multiarch systems, and
you need to tell vanilla GCC where to find the library/headers.

Other than that, the general installation goes fine.
