I configured Xcode 1.5 to use GDC, some brave souls upgraded it
to Xcode 2 (AFAIK) - but it required some scripting and so on...

Details at http://gdcmac.sourceforge.net/xcode.html

Will download the new Xcode 2.2, maybe this also fixes all the
crashing bugs that GCC 4.0.0 has caused me with Xcode 2.0-2.1 ?

Thank you, Anders.

I saw your earlier posts on this. But, naturally, after I'd posted. Oops :-(

Will check out that link!

I haven't updated my own Xcode (IDE) bindings to work with 2.x,
but I'm happy to report that GDC compiles OK now with GCC 4.0.1...
For some reason GCC 4.0.2 fails to compile on Darwin, though ?

(but since the "policy" for gdcmac is to use the same compiler
as the system does, the next GDC build will probably use 4.0.1
unless I can find either a patch - or if GCC 4.0.3 is released)


Regarding the IDE:
There were some more Xcode2 files at http://alanz.com/d/xcode/
Had some other submissions too, will try to get them up on SF...

The goal is to have GDC integration for Xcode 1.2+ for Panther,
and for Xcode 2.1+ for Tiger - all so that you can easily use D.


A side-project is to make the GDB patches work with Apple's
branch of gdb, so that the debugger can demangle correctly...

i.e. ones from http://www.dsource.org/projects/gdb-patches/
(needs backporting to gdb version 5.3 to work with Panther)

Yes, I have, though would like to clean it up a bit and make an 
installer for it before releasing. Its currently a dummy Xcode Plugin 
that also provides a system default D compiler rule.

You are able to create a normal C BSD Shell Program, delete the main.c 
file, add new D module, write code, goto errors/warnings, and click 
build & run/debug.

De-mangling of D symbols in the debugger can be done in your head, 
generally, the numbers you see in the symbol are usually the length of 
the next sub-identifier.

I haven't been doing any D lately, I never did get around to making an 
installer for this D Xcode plugin. I had lost the project, so re-created 
the dummy plugin, and copied the spec files from the plugin I had been 
using.

Please find attached the source.

More may be stripped out of the release plugin, as it doesn't have any 
user interface elements.

One thing I was unable to override involves the standard path for header 
files, iirc the standard d library imports could not be found in some 
path containing 10.4-universal (along those lines), I just deleted it in 
the project settings and everything was fine.

If Anders wishes, it could be included in the installer for the compiler.

Oh, looks very nice! Mac OS X 10.4 only I guess, but it looks complete ?

I'll put it up on gdcmac for sure, will see which installer it'll be...

It seems to be using the GCC 3.3 paths, so once it is updated to
use the GCC 4.0 instead it should probably be able to find them... ?

For GCC 3.x, Apple did their "usual thing" of changing all the GCC
paths to be weird, but for GCC 4.x they reverted back to the GNU ones.

i.e.
/usr/lib/gcc/darwin/3.3/
vs.
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/

 of the next sub-identifier. 






There are some stand-alone utilities to do this, before the GDB patches
can be integrated with the Mac OS X system debugger (as is possible...)

Here is one such:
