howto recompile dmd 2.053 for CentOS 5.x?

[Lars Holowko]

Hi there,

I am trying to get a working dmd 2.053 for CentOS 5.6. The provided
versions seem to be compiled on something newer:

$ sudo rpm -ivh ~/downloads/dmd-2.053-0.fedora.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
	gcc(x86-64) is needed by dmd-2.053-0.x86_64
	glibc-devel(x86-32) is needed by dmd-2.053-0.x86_64
	glibc-devel(x86-64) is needed by dmd-2.053-0.x86_64
	libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.11)(64bit) is needed by dmd-2.053-0.x86_64
	libgcc(x86-32) is needed by dmd-2.053-0.x86_64


dmd from dmd.2.053.zip

$ linux/bin32/dmd
linux/bin32/dmd: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found
(required by linux/bin32/dmd)
$ linux/bin64/dmd
linux/bin64/dmd: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found
(required by linux/bin64/dmd)


I tried it with:

git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime.git
git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos.git
git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd.git

and then compiling in this order dmd, druntime, phobos (make -f
linxu.mak, make -f posix.mak , make -f posix.mak)

I get everything compiled (setting model to m64/64) and m32/32) but my
problem is: How do I get it all in an rpm or a similar layout as the
zip file has (32+64 bit libs, with *.di files, if possible with the
html docs)

I have seen the stuff on
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer but rpmsrc is
still for 2.052 and the stuff under linux/ just uses the *.zip file. I
could adjust rpmsrc, but I have no ideas which commits were 2.053.

If I just try to recompile the src that is provided in the the zip
file, I run in the errno not defined bug in phobos/zlib/ (I don't get
that one when I compile git HEAD).


Does anyone have an idea how to get this working without have to hack
in too many makefiles?

Thanks,

Lars
