Hehe, try a Hello World application:

Compile with:

Run with:

Re: Mac OS installer
I have been able to compile and run D programs for quite some time. I just thought I was using the 2.060 version of the compiler you gave me, until I checked what version I was actually using. My guess is that the 2.061 installer may have installed the new DMD, despite the error message.

Re: Mac OS installer
If Xcode is required to run DMD, then how did you make that custom installer for 2.060 that I installed without Xcode? If I already have GCC installed, why doesn't the installer work? What does that have to do with Xcode?

But GCC is needed to compile using DMD. The installer doesn't work because it's built for Mac OS X 10.7 and later. I've create a pull request to make the installer work on earlier versions as well. It has been merge. But they need to rebuild the installer and upload a new one. I don't know if this has been made yet. -- /Jacob Carlborg
Re: Mac OS installer
I have another question: if the installer is made for 10.7 and later, then why does it say This package is intended for Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) only.? Maybe that is a mistake but a lot of people, including me before I asked about this issue, are probably confused seeing the message saying that their OS is too new when in fact it is too old.

We need to fix that somehow. I have an idea that might fix this.
Jacob, do I need you to custom-make a non-broken installer
like you did
for 2.060? Is that something I can realistically do myself if
I don't
know much about D or OS X installers? Why isn't something like
this on
the download page?
Yes, it's fairly easy to do. Download the zip as you did and
run these commands:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/blob/master/osx/Makefile#L32
The commands between line 33 and 42. You have to replace the $1
and $2 with 2.061 and 2.
I downloaded the zip
(http://downloads.dlang.org.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/releases/2013/dmd.2.061.zip
. Is this the right one?) but I don't know what to do with it.
I am
guessing some stuff should go in /usr/bin and some other stuff
should go
in /usr/share but I don't know what.
Can anyone help me with this?
The installer installs the compiler into /usr/share/dmd if I
recall correctly. It then creates symlinks to /usr/bin. You
need to replace the following:
/usr/share/dmd/bin
/usr/share/dmd/lib
/usr/share/dmd/src
With the same folders from the zip.
I do really recommend DVM instead, even if it's not an official
way to install DMD. It's easy and allows you to have multiple
compilers installed:

You first need to install Xcode. Which you will need regardless of how
you install D.
The safest would be to clone the installer repository and run the
commands from the same directory that makefile is located in.
* Replace ${MAKER} with /Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker
* Replace $1 with 2.061
* Replace $2 with 2
* You don't need to run the hdiutil command
You might want to try downloading the installer again. I've fixed the
issue but I don't know if a new installer has been uploaded since I did
that.
