D.gnu - GDC rpm for Fedora?

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.

Fedora requires that GDC be on the current release that they are
shipping in rawhide (which currently would be 4.7 pre-release) - as
there is no (actively maintained) port for that, they probably won't
ship.  The same issue is with gcc-pascal too, to which only supports
4.1.

Sorry, I'm still a bit confused. Are you saying you'd have to 
wait until Fedora 17 to release GDC on that distro (due to 
aggressive regulations)? Or simply that no one is actively 
maintaining a repository for it right now?


Sorry for what's probably an obvious question. Like I said, I'm 
new to Linux. On one hand I really like the way Linux distros 
provide user friendly software centers. On the other, it's 
annoying how apparently fragmented, disconnected, and out-of-date 
they are from one another.

http://personal.utulsa.edu/~ellery-newcomer/gdcbuild.sh
http://personal.utulsa.edu/~ellery-newcomer/rpmbuild.sh


looks like the second script wants the file gdc-1.0.tar.gz [to be in the
same directory], which has gdc-1.0 as the top level directory. It should
contain everything that gets installed to $PREFIX in the first script.

also looks like f16 is on gcc 4.6.2 now..

resulting rpm contains only files unique to gdc. looks to gcc and
gcc-c++ for everything else.

for some reason, gdc doesn't seem to know where object.d is, and you
have to add the flags

-I /usr/include/d2/4.6.1/ -I /usr/include/d2/4.6.1/x86_64-redhat-linux/

That will probably be because of:

PREFIX=`echo ~`/gdc3
...
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX


gdc will look in $PREFIX/include/d2 for the import files.

would setting --prefix=/usr/ and then running

make install prefix=otherprefix

be an effective workaround?


also, for gdc rev 695, I'm getting a

../../gcc/d/d-glue.cc:3030:11: error: ‘struct function’ has no member
named ‘naked’

know what that's about?

 F i L: gdcbuild seems to be a bit buggy. I'll update it here when I've
gotten a build out of it.

I think you mean:  make install DESTDIR=3Dotherprefix
Yes, that is how you package software in debian, I'd imagine the same here.=

GDC requires patches to be applied to GCC-proper.  See patch-gcc-4.6.x
and patch-toplev-4.6.x

I don't understand. Building it is the harder part (though imho it's not  
hard at all on Linux).
Just run make install or make install-strip (just make sure you configured  
prefix right).
The build instructions explain everything.



 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.


Where's the problem with adding it to your path?
I have both ldc and gdc (in /opt) in my path. Works perfectly.

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.
