Feature 14: D programming

[Jonathan MERCIER]

hello,
I would like to add a feature for F-14: D programming
For this the needs are
- D compiler
- standard runtime library

Fedora will take some benefit to increase its community of developers
with the inclusion of this feature. And an easy way for people who want
to try this language.

It would be great if the runtime library could be built as a shared lib on 
x86_64.

I said the same thing to irc chan #ldc #d #d.tango
And unfortunately all said this: "because D likes static, it is actually
a bit complicated to have shared lib"

If anyone would like to help with making a shared version of D runtime:

This is from recent discussion on digitalmars.D news feed, not sure how to 
post a direct link to it.

i will try do something for shared library but is in development for
linux, is very unstable. shared libray works only for osX. And we did'nt
use dmd compilateur but ldc. here ticket:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/ticket/857

shared library is for 1.0 (i hope)
kind regards

I'm interested. Some games I like playing and would be interested in
helping to get packaged up:

    http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/gr_e.html
    http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/mcd_e.html

    Other games listed under 'Windows' here:
        http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/

The readme.txt says BSD license, so that's good. I tried them a couple
of years ago (at least 3) with gdc, so I'm unsure of ldc does.

Is it possible to do anything useful with just ldc?

[orion@orca build]$ cat test.d
int main(char[][] args)
{return args.sizeof-1;} 

[orion@orca build]$ ldc test.d
object.d: Error: module object cannot read file 'object.d'

Should ldc Require at runtime development library (tango?) like gcc Requires 
glibc-devel?

Thanks for your try, for do something usefull, you need use tango (if
someone would like review it :) )link:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608069
rebuild rpm from src.rpms and install tango-devel tango yum can use
example in tango-example
