D.gnu - OpenBSD Support

I run OpenBSD on my workstation/study-PC. I was shocked when I
couldn't find dmd or even gdc in the packages.

I have read a little bit and found some mention of gdc working on
OpenBSD. But how? I see no mention of it in OpenBSD docs/faqs.

I am content with either dmd or gdc, I don't think it would
really make much of a difference with the trivial programs I
would be developing.

Please help!

DMD supports FreeBSD, I would guess GDC does as well. I don't 
know how similar OpenBSD and FreeBSD are but it might be easy to 
get D working on OpenBSD.

FreeBSD and OpenBSD are two totally different operating systems. 
I would say FreeBSD is more popular (and might include dmd and/or 
gdc ports) but I love and use OpenBSD.

Any other ideas?

Both are POSIX-compliant, no? That should mean that DMD and GDC 
will both build and run fine. (Not sure if there are any 
potential runtime issues.)

Yes, they are both POSIX-compliant. Building is a last resort, I 
would like to know if there are any binary package options.

There are no binary packages available for gdc to my knowledge.  OpenBSD
may not be recognised as being supported, but that is a front end
implementation issue.

Nobody uses GDC on FreeBSD?

Yes, I have started to use it on PC-BSD. Although the zip only comes

I was running DMD on OpenBSD 64 bit around ~2.060. I'm now on 
FreeBSD 9.1 64 bit and using DMD built from the zip. 64 bit does 
require building with gmake but it is trivial. There were no 
dependencies outside a working GCC installation.

Looking at the old version number, looks like freebsd ports hasn't had
a gdc update since 2008...

Strange, I don't see your message... Is there a way we can ask 
someone to realize a dmd/gdc port for OpenBSD then?
