The install guide at:
http://gdcproject.org/wiki/Installation
is wrong/outdated, at least for Ubuntu.
Several issues:
# apt-get source gcc-4.7 # this installs the GCC tarballs in
/usr/src/gcc-4.7/gcc-4.7-4.7.2
is not true. The sources are installed in the current directory,
not in /usr/src, at least for regular users.
# vi debian/rules.patch # search for the line reads
"debian_patches += gcc-d-lang", and comment it out
there is no such file as debian/rules.patch, only a
debian/gdc.preinst, which has no patch line inside.
# ./update-gcc.sh /usr/src/gcc-4.7/gcc-4.7-4.7.2/src
there is no script update-gcc.sh
Finally, the script gcc-setup.sh has as sole help:
Usage: ./setup-gcc.sh [OPTION] PATH
which is quite cryptic. [OPTION] field should be... optional,
however when called with:
./setup-gcc.sh ~/gcc/gcc-defaults-1.120ubuntu8
it says:
error: invalid option
'/home/e_ftotir/gcc/gcc-defaults-1.120ubuntu8'
Thanks.
