I'm running Debian GNU/Linux (testing). Here's the installation
process for the 3 major D compilers.
$ apt install gdc
$ gdc my_first_program.d
GDC is too old for you? Fine, let's use ldc:
$ apt install ldc
$ ldc2 my_first_program.d
Or if you want the bleeding edge version of D:
(download dmd .deb package from dlang.org)
$ dpkg -i dmd_*******.deb
$ rdmd my_first_program.d
Debian maintainers, one word: Thank you!
Sorry, doesn't help me or people in general. Also, simple
examples are not proof that the solutions are general. It may be
that easy on linux or it may not be, but it's definitely not that
case on windows FOR almost ALL installations.
