The compiler itself compiles, but the standard library isn't ported.

- Since DMD requires itself to bootstrap, it has to fetch a DMD compiler.
This has to be done during the fetch stage and checked against a checksum,
not during build.
Initial import of dmd-2.0.51. TODO: The compiler itself compiles, but the standard library isn't ported. Installation hasn't been done yet, so the PLIST is empty. DESCR: D is a systems programming language. Its focus is on combining the power and high performance of C and C++ with the programmer productivity of modern languages like Ruby and Python. Special attention is given to the needs of quality assurance, documentation, management, portability and reliability. The D language is statically typed and compiles directly to machine code. It's multiparadigm, supporting many programming styles: imperative, object oriented, and metaprogramming. It's a member of the C syntax family, and its appearance is very similar to that of C++. It is not governed by a corporate agenda or any overarching theory of programming. The needs and contributions of the D programming community form the direction it goes. 2011-02-16 17:10:41 +00:00			`The compiler itself compiles, but the standard library isn't ported.`
