One of my machines (running ubuntu mate 16.04) did some update
and gdc is no longer able to compile a library that i like to use
(gtkd).
So i want to build a gdc using an earlier front-end to avoid the
problem.
However, i don't know what front end is compiled into gdc, so i'm
unclear on which front-end to try get an earlier version of.
If i run the command
gdc --version
it gives me the gcc version.
The command
gdc --verbose --version
gives a lot more information, but i can't tell the front end
version from that either.
Even running commands like
strings /usr/bin/gdc | grep .....
doesn't seem to reveal the version. (I think the version is
probably 2.06* but '2.06' and '206' do not appear in the strings.)
Nevertheless i'm sure the information must be there.
TIA for any info!
