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

tl;dr: The Arch developers recently switched to enforcing PIE and
they didn't care about updating dmd (even though we pinged them).
