It's still possible to install gcc-d as an "add-on" to gcc, if using the same compiler... One could of course install an additional version of GCC, but it's smaller if just adding GDC. For Ubuntu/Debian, GDC is available for the system compiler so there you can just add D to the GCC Compiler Collection... Fedora/Redhat could do that too, possibly using a compat gcc ?
when gcc 4.7 comme into fedora how many time will be to wait for have gdc/gcc4.7 ? if gdc build with gcc 4.6 i coud try something but in perfect world gdc is a gscc project.
But Fedora 14 is currently running GCC version 4.5, though ? Or you mean that it _will_ be a problem for new Fedora 15, once that is released in about 6 month or so. Yeah, probably. Of course, Fedora could help with porting GDC to 4.6 and on if they want to include D with their supported languages ? Even if GDC came *with* GCC, it would still need packaging... --anders
