Is there a limit to how far DMD releases are supported?
I've tried to install 1.023 but I got back an error:
dvm install -t 1.023
Installing: dmd-1.023
dvm.dvm.Exceptions.DvmException@dvm\commands\Install.d(109): The
platform "windows" is not compatible with the compiler dmd 1.023
I needed that version to attempt to build the ancient cairo bindings
for D. I wanted to try the bindings out without having to port
everything to a new DMD version.
DVM will support any version that follows this:
* Location and name of the DMD archive:
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.<version>
* The archive needs to contain a single folder with one of the following
names: "dmd" or "dmd2"
* The platform specific files need to be in a folder named as follows:
Mac OS X: "osx"
Linux: "linux"
FreeBSD: "freebsd"
Windows: "windows"
(seems to be failing at this requirement).
* The path of the bin folder needs to be located in the platform
specific folder and be named "bin" or "bin64"
* The path of the bin folder needs to be located in the platform
specific folder and be named "lib" or "lib64"
* It needs to have a folder named "src" at the root level
* It needs to have a file named "dmd.conf" (on posix) or "sc.ini" (on
windows) in the bin folder.
