digitalmars.D - Compiling DMD for *nix platforms

Does anyone know how to build DMD from source?

I am using gdc on Mac OS X and I am finding that it does not support all the
bizarre syntax features I am throwing at it, probably because it is based on
version 1 of the D language.  I'd like to try out DMD, and luckily source code
comes in the archives on the download page
(http://www.digitalmars.com/d/download.html).  Unfortunately, there is no build
script to make the compiler, and just trying to run g++ on all the .c files in
the source directory is no good.

You can't compile dmd because it's not 100% open source, only the
frontend is. If you download the latest gdc code using svn then you
can do something like this to enable D 2 support:

./gcc/d/setup-gcc --enable-d-language=2 (or so, I don't remember)

Another reason is that DMD isn't portable, so even if you managed
to build it - it would generate code for Windows or x86 "linux".

 can do something like this to enable D 2 support:
 
 ./gcc/d/setup-gcc --enable-d-language=2 (or so, I don't remember)


./gcc/d/setup-gcc.sh --d-language-version=2 (see INSTALL doc)

Sweet!  That's exactly what I want.
I've heard some rumors about using gcc's backends for other platforms to use D
on embedded systems.
That's exactly why I'm interested in D.  What would need to be done to make a
cross-compiler for <insert
favorite gcc backend here>?

Same as with any other gcc frontend, I don't know the details 100% but
I did have a gdc cross compiler for an ARM target. But you need to
port the runtime library too for any useful apps to run.

Not really, but, you should try fetching the Apple-modified gcc from
http://developer.apple.com/opensource (I think that's the right URL).
Anyway, Anders F Bjorklund knows way more about this stuff than me
(apple stuff).

Your GCC versions and setup seems OK, it seems like symbols
from "clone.c" are missing in the library creation though ?

Which version of GDC and which language was this ? trunk/D2 ?
Maybe you need to add d/clone.dmd.o to D_DMD_OBJS, or wait...

You probably need to step down a few revisions from the
bleeding edge, e.g. Ubuntu uses r197 and gdcmac uses r199.

It'll be fixed eventually, but trunk is *not* guaranteed
to always build. Unfortunately gdc 0.25 has been delayed...


But it is getting very off-topic, so suggest you continue
any problems with building GDC trunk in the D.gnu newsgroup ?

BTW; If you want try out DMD on your Mac you can use either
Wine and the Windows version or by running* a Linux distro ?

* by e.g. booting a LiveCD or using a virtualization solution

I have successfully compiled gdc on leopard using revision 209.
I had just to change "--strip-underscores" to "--strip-underscore" in 
"gcc-4.1.2/libstdc++-v3/scripts/make_exports.pl" to enable c++.

I have described the procedure by updating
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/GdcInstallation
just pay attention to the comments like ("on mac do this" :)

It might be that the latest trunk has other problems, in that case 
revert to 209...

Uh-oh!
The build did not generate any files named 'clone.dmd.o'.

$ find . -name 'clone.*'
