teething troubles

[Dean via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Hi all,

   I need a little helping hand with dmd on a 32 bit Debian box. I
installed dmd from http://d-apt.sourceforge.net/

i) First trial:

====================
$cat test.d

import std.stdio;
void main() {
    writeln("hello");
}

$ time dmd test.d

real    0m2.355s
user    0m1.652s
sys     0m0.364s

$./test
hello

$ dmd -v test.d | wc -l
84
====================

Seems to be working. My only concern is whether 2.35s for
compiling such a trivial file is normal.

ii) 2nd trial

======================
I installed gdc. Now I get
$ time gdc test.d

real    0m6.286s
user    0m3.856s
sys     0m0.884s
======================

Given the dmd and gdc timings, it seems I am doing something
wrong.

iii) 3rd trial

I installed tango from http://d-apt.sourceforge.net/ I know this
can ruffle feathers. Please assume good faith. I am just trying
to learn from the tango book.

=======================

$ls /usr/include/dmd/tango

core  io  math  net  stdc  sys  text  time  util

$cat test.d

import tango.io.Stdout;

void main() {
    Stdout ("hello").newline;
}

$dmd -I/usr/include/dmd/tango  -v test.d


binary    dmd
version   v2.065
config    /etc/dmd.conf
parse     test
importall test
import    object
(/usr/include/dmd/druntime/import/object.di)
import    tango.io.Stdout       (tango/io/Stdout.d)
test.d(1): Error: module Stdout is in file 'tango/io/Stdout.d'
which cannot be read
import path[0] = /usr/include/dmd/tango
import path[1] = /usr/include/dmd/phobos
import path[2] = /usr/include/dmd/druntime/import


It seems inspite of specifying usr/include/dmd/tango it cannot
import tango.io.Stdout.

Here is my /etc/dmd.conf

[Environment32]
DFLAGS=-I/usr/include/dmd/phobos
-I/usr/include/dmd/druntime/import -L-L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
-L--export-dynamics

What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the help.
