Ubuntu specific installation for dummies
Add the general compiler tools:
sudo aptitude install build-essential
Go to the following webpage and download the installer that is bundled with both GDC and DSSS: http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/GdcDownloads or just:
Then we make the file excuteable
chmod +x tango-0.98-forDSSS-gdc-i686-pc-linux-gnu-withDSSS-withGDC.sh
Execute the script:
sudo ./tango-0.98-forDSSS-gdc-i686-pc-linux-gnu-withDSSS-withGDC.sh
You will be asked for an installation directory (the recommended is: /usr/local).
And finally we configure rebuild
sudo nano /etc/rebuild
Make it contain these two lines:
include=/usr/local/include/d
flags=-fversion=Posix -fversion=Tango
Now you can compile a file with: rebuild something.d
