There is no Debian or Mint deb, is this just lack of resources or
decision not to support anything other than Ubuntu?
The .deb will work on Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint. I can confirm the
latter two at least, and I know others use it on Debian.
I have given up on Ubuntu, my machines now are usually Debian Unstable
but can boot into Fedora 17. I just loaded up the deb on Debian Unstable
and it does seem to work fine. Given that the executables are set up for
dynamic linking this is rather surprising. Excellent, but surprising.
Installing the 64-bit DMD deb does though pull in a world of GCC 32-bit
stuff :-(
Yeah, that's because DMD has -m32 to cross-compile for 32-bit. It's a
bit silly that it's not optional.
