digitalmars.D.learn - Is it's possible to install DMD/LDC/GDC on CoreOS?

For LDC, you can just download the latest release from 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases and you are good 
to go.

Just make sure you have "gcc" available on your system for 
linking.

An alternative would be to compile your application locally, then 
copy it over to your container. I don't know how similar CoreOs 
to a typical Linux distribution is, but if it comes with the 
typical shared libraries (libm.so, libc.so, lipthread.so), this 
should be possible ;-)

LDC also allows you to create fully statically linked executables 
(-static). It allows you to sidestep issues with shared library 
version incompatibilities, but of course there has been a few 
technical issues and lot more politicking regarding fully 
statically linked executables on Linux.

Oh I totally forgot about this, despite I think it's a great 
feature.
Btw  Suliman fully static linking with LDC is used for the DLang 
Tour, which is built with Vibe.d and deployed using a docker 
container (based on busybox). Maybe that's worth looking at:

https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour/blob/master/Dockerfile
https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour/blob/master/dub.sdl
https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour/blob/master/.travis.yml

(it adds a bit more, because the dockerized DLang Tour runs 
docker containers for each run)
