digitalmars.D - How to bootstrap dmd/ldc on a new distro that uses llvm and musl-libc?
Hi there! I'm testing out a new distro that uses LLVM toolchain and MUSL-libc. I was trying to bootstrap dmd or ldc on it, but I couldn't find a way to do either... There are no existing binaries that work, and the C++ versions of dmd require a VERY VERY OLD version of llvm... I'm confused on how to bootstrap it now. (The distro uses clang, not gcc..)

SN <sn03.general gmail.com> The distro is Chimera Linux (https://chimera-linux.org), for those who were wondering. It's pretty neat!

(The distro uses clang, not gcc..)void linux is similar https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/dmd They even have a simple patch for musl, maybe this one patch should be merged upstream (anyone willing to do it?) There is also arch linux: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/dmd
