digitalmars.D.learn - Problems setting up Eclipse/DDT

reply Joseph Rushton Wakeling <joseph.wakeling webdrake.net> writes:
What with all the IDE discussion going on, I thought I'd have a go at trying
out 
Eclipse with the DDT plugin.

I'm running Eclipse 3.8 installed from system repos on Ubuntu 13.10.  Adding
the 
DDT plugin as per the instructions here:
http://code.google.com/p/ddt/wiki/Installation

... seems to work fine.  Now I go to the Window menu and select Preferences,
and 
then click on DDT > Compilers, and click the Search button.

The search process freezes when it discovers LDC, with the "Progress 
Information" window reading:

     Found 3007 - Searching /opt/ldc/bin/ldmd2

... and I'm forced to kill Eclipse manually.  Can anyone advise what the
problem 
might be and how to correct it?

I asked this on the DDT Google Group but had no response, so thought I'd ask 
here.  Suffice to say that I think that, even if LDC isn't supported via DDT 
yet, it's pretty bad that the search for compilers should freeze up if LDC is 
installed.

I think it's better that you manually add paths to the compiler, then 
searching for it, if possible,

Seems like it's a known issue: http://code.google.com/p/ddt/issues/detail?id=10
