Hi,
i'm trying to package dsss for ubuntu and debian.
So i installed gdc 4.2 and libphobos-4.2-dev and got the sources from
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dsss/downloads/0.75/dsss-0.75.tar.bz2

The first thing that i did is to copy Makefile.gdc.posix to Makefile
Then i run make (via debuild) and this is the output

[...]

There is a Segmentation Fault when a "just compiled one second before" dsss
tries to build itself...

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Thanks

I don't know if it helps, but it seems like many people have problems when
using the gdc 4.2 package.  I've never had trouble using gdc 4.1 out of the box.

Yep, you're right, it's a gdc bug...
