Noted lack of responses on the list and I was curious about how far you had moved with this.
After looking at D, it interested me as seems to be offering most of the functionality in Java and STL without some of the attendant limitations.
I afraid I cannot help on the package building side, I know less about this than you do, but I am interested if there has been any progress.
I did not get any help yet but I was advised to post to the factory mailinglist which I am going to do soon. I managed to fix the x86_64 build failure (by disabling the multilib feature for now) however openSUSE factory's upgrade to gcc 4.3.0 broke the compilation there and I have to look into that now. No solution to the libunwind linking issue nor to creating the runtime/shared D standard library yet. However I got offered help from the guys of the Tango project (Higher level replacement standard library for D) to integrated the Tango library into the build process which I am going to attempt next. In the days where people seem to freak out on stuff like Vala and Mono, they miss the great advantage of developing with a "native C# alike language" with all the resulting benefits. Having converted some C# GTK+ composite examples to D by just changing a few lines and getting a native running binary compiled which you can even debug with GDB makes me believe one should not get this stuffed away in some dark corner... --- M.S. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-programming+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-programming+help@opensuse.org
