digitalmars.D.learn - dmd for Haiku OS

I have recently looked through Haiku OS and got surprised to find 
there dmd 2.072.
There was only running file but Phobos and DrinTime were missing.

Are there any plans to port dmd to Haiku OS nowadays?
Is there a manual (example) on dmd porting on Haiku OS?

Sorry for Zombie-thread. Just saw the news that wayland was

I'm not sure, because there are many more important and more 
valuable things to do for main core developers. Haiku has very 
low market share and users.
But AFAIK Haiku is using GCC and has C++. So maybe (actually I 
don't know) it is possible to bootstrap GDC from some older 
versions.

Also some related links below, which could be helpful, just in 
case someone will find this thread and decided to try.

Following up on my own blog post, I would definitely recommend 
using GCC 11.2 as the version to use to bootstrap GDC to Haiku. I 
think that's the last one before the move to GDC being written in 
D. Once you've made the bootstrap GDC, then move to the latest 
release (12.2) and you can continue moving forward with that as 
new releases are made.
