Awesome, that's good news. I'd love to test it out, but I've
never built the D runtime (or Phobos for that matter) from
source. Are there any instructions or do I just do something
like
make && sudo make install and it'll put itself in the right
places? FWIW, I'm running Linux with the standard DMD 2.060
compiler.
Just run:
make -f posix.mak
Or, for Windows:
make -f win32.mak
You also need to build Phobos, which automatically links the
druntime objects into a single library file, by going into the
Phobos directory and doing the same thing.
An annoying issue on Windows, though, is that DMD keeps running
out of memory when all the precise GC teimplates are
instantiated. I've been meaning to rewrite the make file to
separately compile Phobos on Windows, but I've been preoccupied
with other things.
