How to impose D2 on gdc

Question

I have installed GDC from the software center of ubuntu.

The problem is that when I tried to compile a source that contain the keyword immutable, it gives me an error. Then I deduced that it compiles only D1.

If i want to compile D2 with GDC, what should I do?

Pretty sure the packaged GDC for Debian/Ubuntu is D1 only and an old version of GDC at that. — he_the_great, May 08 '11 at 06:05
That is correct. Ubuntu Maverick has the DMD-equivalent version 1.043 of GDC, and Natty has 1.063, according to packages.ubuntu.com. — jgottula, May 08 '11 at 06:16

You need to pass -v2 to select D2 compiling, e.g.:

gdc -v2 main.d

The packages in the linux repository are very out of date. To my knowledge, they are not compatible with D2 in any way. I've tried.

The only way that I know how to get D2 working with GDC would be to compile GDC from here: https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/downloads

If you follow the instruction on the wiki, you can optionally compile it to work with D2.

I have recently switched from dmd to gdc using this method and have had no problems. The code written and tested with dmd compiles cleanly with gdc.

Thanks for the reply. I'm wrong or what you linked is only for windows? – Arack May 07 '11 at 18:17
@Marco: Sorry, I was referring to the source code. I'm not sure they have binaries for Linux. – user541686 May 07 '11 at 18:26
