GDC is tied to the GCC release program I guess, so gdc can only be updated when there is a new GCC release. I am not up to compiling gdc from source, but compiling ldc2 is very straightforward, so I tend to use that by default to get something fast that is more or less up-to-date with DMD. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
