D.gnu - Trying to build GDC from sources (New fool - please be kind)
- Cecil Ward (13/13) Mar 25 2018 Got as far as downloading a huge .tar.xz file and extracting it,
- Iain Buclaw (6/19) Mar 25 2018 git checkout gdc-7
Got as far as downloading a huge .tar.xz file and extracting it, but U just guessed at a version of gcc sources to ftp-fetch in the first place. I have a gcc-7.3.0 folder now. Is that the correct version number ? Next, the script file setup-gcc.sh comes up with the error message "found gcc version 7 This version of GCC (7) is not supported." It's looking for a patch file with a different name, based on version number. I have patch files patch-*8.patch currently, mismatch against the check for 7. Not sure where to go from here.
