Hi, I have been trying D for the last few days... I am only writing because I really, really like the language! It's absolutely stunning how the features it has are simple, well designed and at the same time incredibly advanced! All with an extremely fast compiler, which is almost unbelievable.
Yeah, D has a really bad experience in MacOS. If you want to use it on mac, I suggest using LDC. And the package managers doesn't do D justice. You want to get the zip and setup the environment variables yourself, this is the best way to make it work.
The "D recommended way" to install is by using the install.sh script, found at https://dlang.org/install.html
I personally never used GDC since I develop on Windows 99% of the time (the other time is only used on the other platforms when I need to develop specific things for them).
The error you're seeing is related to a DC variable. The D Compiler variable. I would guess this is a problem caused by your package manager when installing D.
I've been developing a game engine which does compiler execution for the user because it can get quite hard to understand depending on the size of the project.
