State of the union on arch linux......

[Andy Smith via Digitalmars-d]

Hi All,

I recently had to retire my ageing Ubuntu laptop and decided to 
go for Arch as the OS of choice for its successor, since I was 
quite sold on this 'rolling release' concept.

My expectation was to have the latest, shiniest versions of the 
three major D compilers at my fingertips but so far it looks like 
the only compiler that works out of the box (*) is LDC.

(*) works out of the box = can compile and run a simple 
helloworld program.

I checked out the snap package that Joseph spoke about at DCONF 
2017 but again it seems like only LDC has snap packages available.

Is the state of affairs really this bad on Arch? Or is there a 
HOWTO where I can get up and running with all three compilers?

Cheers,

A
