It appears that gdmd (and to have that, gdc) is present in the 4.6 GCC distribution on Debian but not yet in the 4.7. Is this planned or has there been a problem somewhere?

I would work with debian, ubuntu and mint which is a large user base.

Iain Buclaw mentioned that a 4.7.0 package was in the works for Ubuntu, and I imagine that would work also for Debian without any major hassle. It should also be possible to maintain a GDC PPA on Launchpad for the most up-to-date packages.

I feel quite uninformed in an important matter so any updates would help. Are we on track, anywhere close, off it? Is there anything the community can do? Thanks, Andrei

If so, any chance of a PPA for 12.04 and earlier?

Personally for me it's as easy as ./configure --enable-language=d && make. For Debian and Ubuntu when building from vanilla gcc sources, you need to add two new environmental variables in your ~/.bashrc so that the installed compiler is able to find the multiarch location of libraries. -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';If you need his details, I'd be happy to pass them onto you and give you a rundown of how the 4.6 debian build is structured - the package in debian will float down to ubuntu in due course over the next release.[...] I'd like to know how to build the latest gdc from source, even if just for my personal use (I just ran into a nasty 64-bit bug in dmd, but my current outdated version of gdc doesn't support the new std.regex which I need, so I'm stuck).
