Hi,
I'm trying to build the gdc project but I ran in to the problem
that
since you moved to the github, there isn't really a project
page that
would describe how to build the gdc project that is up-to-date.
I
noticed that there were some changes in the project structure,
so it
would make sense to take the docs from the bitbucket website
and add
them to the git repository's root. (Currently, the system finds
the
README in the
"https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/tree/master/gcc/d";
directory, but this file doesn't contain any description how to
build
the current source tree. I will probably work it out for my
self, but
it would be great if you could move the bitbucket wiki/readme
to the
github repo's root.
As an other question, I'm working on Linux Mint, and I tried to
build
a simple hello world program with gdc and debug it with gdb. I
compiled my little program with the following command:
$ gdc -fdebug-c main.d -o main
cc1d: warning: command line option "-imultilib" is valid for
C/C++/Fortran/ObjC/ObjC++ but not for D
I don't think the warning has anything to do with it, but for
the
record that's what I've got right in the beginning. So when I
try to
debug, the gdb is complaining:
Reading symbols from
/home/progician/gdc-debugging-experience/main...(no debugging
symbols
found)...done.
I also tried this using the -fdebug switch only but I've got
the same
results. The symbol table however looks working, because I was
able to
call and use this:
gdb>break main
I know that the gdb has no specific D support, other than name
mangling (which probably worked as it was able to find the main
function) but I expected to see some debugging info.
Sincerely

-fdebug-c sets the lang_name to "GNU C", which may alter the way
some debug information is emitted. It does not itself turn on
debugging symbols.
Similarly, -fdebug only turns on 'debug' statements.
To turn on debug symbols, use -g. Which is the same switch as
you would use in other GCC front end compilers.
Github is a means to host the code, not the project. To read
information on the project, see the following links.
