I've started up a cronjob to do nightly builds and upload them to my 
personal home page.

So, firstly, nightly builds of GDC for GNU/Linux on x86 are at:
http://www.codu.org/gdc-nightly/

Secondly, people wishing to set up nightly builds for other systems may 
want my script, which is at:
http://www.codu.org/gdc-nightly/gdc-nightly.sh

  - Gregor Richards

PS: Apparently GDC can't be cross-compiled.  I was going to set up a 
MingW32 version as well, but since I can't cross-compile GDC, it's dead 
in the water.

Cool thanks. If I have a spare junk box lying around I'll try and set 
one up for 'dows.

I could host a nightly build of a cross-compiler targeting MingW32 from 
GNU/Linux ... would that be useful at all?

That will be great!

Please put the built binary also at http://www.codu.org/gdc-nightly/

So I can just grub the latest version.

Thanks.

I should probably have responded to this, I started making 
MingW32-targetted GDCs for GNU/Linux a while ago ... totally forgot that 
it was in response to this :P

Is it possible to build the native MingW32 Windows exe?

Not from anything but a Windows system.  The included phobos has the 
fairly lame habit of running some of its generated code to generate more 
code, and doesn't understand the concept of cross-compilation.

There is support for building cross-compilers that target Win32 and 
SkyOS.  The files that would normally need to be generated are included 
in the distrubtion and should be picked up the the configuration script.

The question was actually about cross-built native compilers...  This 
almost works out of the box, but require one extra step.  After running 
the configure script, in the top level Makefile, replace

   CXX_FOR_BUILD = $(CXX)

with

   CXX_FOR_BUILD = g++

The problem in this case is code generation for the compiler itself, not 
Phobos.

Aha - for some reason I thought this was in Phobos, but I now see it's 
in the code inherited from the DMD frontend (grr   Walter).

I guess I can make Win32 nightlies then :P

just checked: http://www.codu.org/gdc-nightly/

The last update is on 20-Oct-2006:

[   ] gdc-nightly-x86-gnuW..> 20-Oct-2006 03:22   2.8M

Can you make it work also for Win32 binaries?

Thanks.
