digitalmars.D.ide - Does rdmd require dmd?

reply pubnoconst <something something.net> writes:
Greetings,
I am using an apple M1 chip laptop and I am trying to setup vs 
code for D development.
I have installed ldc2 and dub, but I cannot see any rdmd in brew. 
I understand that dmd has not yet been ported to apple silicon, 
but does rdmd require dmd?
Subsequently, my machine is unable to compile code-d as it 
requires rdmd.


Log for those who are interested.

Installing into 
/Users/u1/.vscode/extensions/webfreak.code-d-0.23.2/bin

 git clone --recursive https://github.com/Pure-D/serve-d.git 
 serve-d


Cloning into 'serve-d'...

 git checkout v0.7.6


Note: switching to 'v0.7.6'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make 
experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make 
in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a 
branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, 
you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

   git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

   git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable 
advice.detachedHead to false

HEAD is now at fc9df49 v0.7.6, OpenSSL 3.2+ fix

All three compilers should distribute rdmd, it can work with any one of 
them.

Whatever compiler its built with will become the one it prefers.
