when can I use dmd on 64bit linux ?
You can now - 32 bit executables work fine on 64 bit linux!
Maybe I should try it again sometime, but I ran into linker issues when
I tried using DMD on 64bit linux. Other than that, DMD worked fine.
Same here, but only on some installations of 64-bit Linux. Others work fine. I
think the key is that you need the 32-bit version of GCC and all the libraries
like libpthread, libgcc, libc, etc. available. I've been nagging my sysadmin to
install these, though it matters less for me now that I have the DMD source and
was able to make DMD work on some other Linux boxes that it previously didn't
work
on for unrelated reasons. If you have a bunch of Linux boxes around, you can
also
compile on one that has the 32-bit libs and copy the resulting binary over to
one
that doesn't, and it will usually work.
On Ubuntu64, which is my main linux dev machine, the following is necessary:
To compile 32 bit programs under ub64:
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib libc6-i386 lib6-dev-i386
To run 32 bit programs:
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib
(After long bitter experience, I now keep notes on how to configure the
machine after a fresh install <g>.)
