digitalmars.D.learn - Installing DMD From Zip

reply "Mike Parker" <aldacron gmail.com> writes:
Once upon a time, there were instructions linked from the DMD 
download page explaining how to install from the zip file on each 
platform. I can't find anything about it now, not from dlang.org 
or from the wiki. Is it still out there somewhere? I need a page 
to point people at.

I'd just tell them to unzip it wherever they wanted it and add the bin directory for their platform for it to their PATH. As I recall, that's all that's required to get it to work. As for the page in question, it looks like it was probably lost in the site redesign. - Jonathan M Davis

Yes, that's about all I can do without that page to link to.

Looks like the same can be said for the page that used to give details about the compiler command line options.

I think that it was the same page, though I could be remembering wrong. Several articles are missing as well (e.g. the one on std.datetime and the one on arrays), so I don't know how careful they really were in updating the website. - Jonathan M Davis

The pages are still there, they're just not linked from anywhere (except for the sitemap). I don't know what happened. On dmd (installation, flags, etc): http://dlang.org/dmd-linux.html http://dlang.org/dmd-windows.html http://dlang.org/dmd-osx.html http://dlang.org/dmd-freebsd.html "Introduction to std.datetime": http://dlang.org/intro-to-datetime.html "D Slices": http://dlang.org/d-array-article.html
