So what's up with GDC these days? Haven't seen any releases in a while.
I'm trying to build mingw version from SVN now.
Thinking of putting up periodic snapshots if I can manage that.
Might be interested in helping keep up to date with DMD in other ways if
I can help.
I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there who could offer a little
time here and there to help maintain web-pages and tarballs for
up-to-date GDC releases. So let's do it!

I asked if GDC was ded a few months back.
My question was mostly met with ridicule.
That post is about one page up in my newsreader. I don't think there have been
significant SVN commits in this time.
I'll let that speak for itself.

You only got two replies and of those only one ridiculed you!

Last post here from David looks like it was Nov. 2007.
I'm not as worried about there not being any commits as I am about him
not having made a single appearance on the NG in almost 4 months.

i've been using GDC on linux 64bit for quite a while now and i only came
across a single, typeinfo/linking related problem. besides that it works
great.
i'm using the 0.25 pre-release from the ubuntu/debian package
repositories. it's based on DMD 1.021, which is the version that i use
on windows as well (since 1.022 introduced a (backend?) bug that causes
an ICE when building 2 of my projects with -O).

Did you manage to compile gtkd with gdc?
I tried the best I could but it only compiles with the latest versions of
dmd 1 and dsss... :/
I know of a patch to gtkd to compile it with gdc, but I read that it still
segfaults.
Thanks.
Bye.

no, haven't tried. the only libs i've been using with GDC so far are
Tango and Phobos.

I got gtkD to compile and run under GDC, I didn't really run into any
segfaulting issues but I repeatedly got an error about FileChooserDialog
linking.
After reading this thread I decided to test with dmd, and indeed, it
works. Fooey.

For the glade test actually, I've found I can build gtkD with gdc, then
build the glade test with dmd, and it works. However if I try to build
both the glade test and gtkD with gdc, it fails. (Similarly, building
both with dmd works as expected).
Seems curious, to say the least. I'm pretty ready to blame it on GDC.

let's do it!
I talked recently with Arthur Loiret, a Debian (or Ubuntu?) maintainer who
patched GDC to compile with CGG 4.2 asking him if he send the patches to
David, and he answer that he tried to contact David with no success.
I guess David lost interest in GDC. I'd like to pick it up myself in a
near future (I'm starting my thesis and I'll work with D), but I don't
have the time to give it all the love it deserves right now.
Is there anybody who knows anything about the GDC internals, where is the
glue code that uses the DMD frontend for example?

I used to make binary builds for GDC over at gdcwin/gdcgnu/gdcmac,
but since "dgcc" makes binary releases since "DMD 1.000" (GDC 0.21)
I haven't had to do that in a while but instead can just repackage
the binary tarball, as released from http://dgcc.sourceforge.net/ :
gdc-0.24-mingw32-gcc-3.4.5.tar.bz2
gdc-0.24-i686-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.2.tar.bz2
gdc-0.24-powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.2.tar.bz2
gdc-0.24-macosx-universal-gcc-5363.tar.bz2
The packaging formats used is EXE for Win, RPM for GNU, PKG for Mac.
I also made a build of the GDB debugger, with the D patches applied.
But all the actual code patches and changes that I made are upstream
now, except for some pending updates to the man pages (pretty minor)

When I first started using GDC, I thought it was dead. Then, six months
later, it sprung back to life, and was fairly active up until r199.
David has a busy life. If he doesn't have time for GDC right now, that's
too bad for us, but it's his right to work on it when and only when he
feels like it. It's not like we're paying him.

Sure, but it would be pretty cool if _several_ people could work on it and
have the project see commits even when David is busy. It's not as if there
is nothing to do.

Nobody is complaining about David Friedman's work on GDC. The opposite
is the case. This discussion is about whether it is worthwhile for
others to join his greatly appreciated effort to make it even more
useful by updating it more often. Since GDC is licensed under the GPL,
David obviously encourages such considerations.

Exactly. How can we help Dave? That's what I'm saying.

I'll be happy to help. I've been perusing the code recently just so I can
contribute.
