I'm using Linux Mint, it's much more stable than Ubuntu (which
started to completely collapse on me for just looking the
wrong way at it), but unfortunately some packages are
outdated, especially the D compilers.
Okay, I installed the "curl" versions, how do I edit the
activating shell scripts of DMD and LDC that they'd work as if
they were installed "normally"? I don't have the time, not the
capacity to test my libraries with multiple different compiler
versions, and document any oddities between them (and I almost
never need it thanks to D).
For Mint, I'd use the .deb and let it handle that stuff. For LDC,
I have a bash alias for ldmd2 that points to the ldmd2 binary. Of
course there are multiple ways to handle this, but I don't
understand the point of the install script, since it leaves you
without a working installation.
