Yeah, I noticed that's an alternative. But since I've never done that
that's way I said "might take a bit longer than I expected".

Apparently it can generate 32bit binaries just fine, the problem is some 
header files are not properly ported to handle both 32 and 64bit. A C 
Hello World application works without a jail. As well as any D 
application (at least the one I tried).


Seems Mac OS X is the only platform that handles this well, due to the 
use of universal binaries.

Yeah, you essentially need both a 32 bit FreeBSD install and a 
64 bit one.


I suppose what's needed is a "one click install" package for 
FreeBSD.

The gdc FreeBSD port is marked as broken and deprecated.  I don't 
think it's been updated in years, back when gdc was still written 
by the original author.


I wrote the original makefiles for dmd1 and dmd2.  They still 
work, but the current maintainer usually doesn't bother doing 
more than a cursory version number bump, so they'll often 
uninstall cleanly, as the list of files installed will be wrong 
(ie the pkg-plist is outdated).  I also wrote a ldc1 makefile 
back then, but nobody maintained it, so it has been removed.


It appears that dlang builds their own packages for some 
platforms, regardless of whether it's in the native package 
repository or not.  Probably a good idea, for instant 
gratification of those who want to try it out.

What I'd like is someone to become the "build master" who will get

If you are installing from the zip file, you need to have VCINSTALLDIR 
and WindowsSdkDir environment variables set. These are set if you open 
the console window for the Visual Studio version you want to use. These 
settings were hardcoded in sc.ini to the default installation path of 
VS2010 in previous dmd releases, but stripping the drive name.


The windows installer will patch sc.ini to contain the paths of the most 
recent versions of VC and the Windows SDK.

Was that supposed to work? (as there are files in lib64 I thought
it was ready) 32 bit is OK.

Will FreeBSD be dropped?


Absolutely not. We just don't have a download package for it (this is not a new 
development).



We never have had 64bit binaries but the 32bit? Can't
you just setup a virtual machine?


I've had a virtual machine setup at one point, but those things require 
significant time to set up and to keep them from breaking (my virtual machine 
setups all broke when I upgraded Ubuntu).


What I'd like is someone to become the "build master" who will get Brad's 
autotester to automatically and routinely build each platform install package.


This will also have the effect of better dealing with the constant breakage of 
the scripts that build those packages.

I don't like breaking my scripts and other peoples' scripts. It's annoying that 
they don't follow a proper pattern, but is not a big deal.


If someone wants to step up and take the mantle of Build Master, he'd be in 
charge of things like that.

Well, I hope. Also for various other compilers using the fronted, 
smaller gap between releases would make their maintainers' lives 
easier. A 2-month gap between releases?

You mean after this release it will be named 2.064.1, etc? Then don't
call it a release candidate, is confusing. If is really an rc (which
since you don't want to make an official announcement yet, I guess it
is), please do what you did with the betas. All the same reasons to name
the betas uniquely apply to release candidates. Just change beta1 with
rc1 and make everybody happy. Is just one more little step! :)

Please, please, please, never, ever overwrite released packages (betas
and rc included) with a new one. You should consider them read-only
after you create and publish them.

Then be consistent with how you announce the releases (beta, rc, final)
and the version numbers you are using.

Thanks!

Seems to no longer be in 2.064. The installer builder was 
changed.


I have asked Jordi to remove those some time ago to avoid 
confusion with official Arch packages as matching build script 
was very obsolete and did not conform packaging guidelines. If 
having an easily available beta/rc package is desired, it can be 
trivially added to AUR.

FreeBSD libphobos2.a not updated in 2.064 betas (and now in the 
release candidate, too):

I don't have a FreeBSD system to test whether anything actually 
works, but a 23M half-year-old standard library file in the

February?..
