D.gnu - GDC on Mac OS X 10.5?

My first question:
does GDC on Mac OS X 10.5 works?

To my second question:
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.2 and have installed the developer tools, 
downloaded gdc for mac and run the installation. When I tried to compile 
a simple hello world program I got the following error:

object.d: module object cannot read file 'object.d'

If I remember correctly that means that the gdc can't find the Phobos 
lib but I don't know how to fix that.

I did the same installation procedure on Mac OS X 10.4 and that worked. 
Have they changed something in Mac OS X 10.5 that breaks the current gdc?

Yes. If you are on PowerPC (or compiling for, such as making Universal Binaries) you need to patch the linker though or it will crash with D... http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/apsl/ld64-77.1.tar.gz http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/ld64-77.1-powerpc_nosection.patch

GDC tries to find the Phobos imports relative to its library, so if the library (or its directory) is missing it will fail: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/* /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/*

They changed the OS version, so you need the old version of the GCC runtime (normally expected to be available from Xcode) It is available in the tarball from the "dgcc" binary section: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/dgcc/gdc-0.24-macosx-universal-gcc-5363.tar.bz2 --anders PS. A version for gcc-5465 (the Leopard compiler) is planned for GDC 0.25 But it should be possible to use gcc-5363 (Tiger compiler) meanwhile.

Thanks for the answer. Does anyone knows when GDC 0.25 will be released? a month? a couple of months? longer ?
