And I don't see any instructions for how to build it anywhere in the source tree or on the homepage. Ok, strange. I built the tool on Ubuntu 11.04, maybe it's too new. How can I build it to work on as many platforms as possible? The runtime dependencies are just the same as a regular C application and zlib. Added build instructions at the bottom of: https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm Thanks :) I think I'm almost there. I've been using D2/Phobos/RDMD for the past year or so (plus my usual machine is a windows box), so I had a lot of setting up to do, but I think I've almost got it now. When I do, I'll post the final binary in case it helps anyone else (I can only make a 32-bit binary though). Done. Here's the binary, it works for me: http://www.semitwist.com/download/app/dvm-0.2.0-linux-32 Thanks, I'll upload it when I get a chance. I've uploaded your version now, thanks again. -- /Jacob Carlborg

This is one of the side effects of having open source software. Since everything on linux is expected to be open source, it's expected that you simply recompile everything for your system. In this respect, Windows has Linux beat hands down. A hardware company that builds a driver needs only to support one compiled driver that just keeps working no matter how many times XP is updated. The problem I have with my tool is like the chicken and the egg problem. The tool installs D compilers and you're supposed to use the tool without the requirement of an pre-existing DMD compiler. I've been thinking it would probably be possible to bootstrap DVM with a shell script that would wget some specific DMD, set it up, at least enough to build DVM (possibly even automatically building DMD/druntime/phobos/tango - which is something we really need a more automated way to do anway, especially for trunk versions (or whatever the Git-lingo for trunk is)), and then use that to build DVM. I may give it a try myself. In the case I just could have written the tool in shell script in the first place and that's what I want to avoid. I hate shell scripts and it would make it even harder to create a version for Windows. I think the right approach is to provied pre-compiled binaries. I downloaded Ubuntu 4.10, or something like that. I'll install it in a virtual machine and try it out. -- /Jacob Carlborg
