I'm running Fedora 13.x86_64 and I've tried various ways of getting a
D compiler to work. None have succeeded.
1. a. I can't install dmd 2.048:
# rpm -Uvh /downloads/dmd-2.048-0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
gcc(x86-32) >= 4.2.3 is needed by dmd-2.048-0.i386
I don't know what package will satisfy this dependency.
b. dmd is a closed compiler. Not good. I'm really not comfortable
running a compiler for which I don't have access to the source. The
risk of undetected malware is too great.
c. So, I give up on dmd.
Complete source code comes with dmd. Try downloading:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/changelog.html
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.1.063.zip
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/changelog.html
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.048.zip
There are several people working on the source. Lots of D users compile their
own versions of dmd. The complete dmd source code is also available here:
