Build Instructions for Ubuntu users

Packages for ldc are available on D Programming Language Applications Packagers archive. Actually there is a ldc and tango version for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid (These versions should also work on older Ubuntu systems).

News

20100523 : Separated packages (stable/daily)
20091108 : The repository has been completely remade.

On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and later

If you're using the most recent version of Ubuntu (or any version from Ubuntu 9.10 onwards), you can add a PPA to your system with a single line in your terminal.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:d-language-packagers/ppa

On older (pre 9.10) Ubuntu systems

To enable the repository, add the apt key with the command

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com CDE3FA2E

To install, edit '/etc/apt/sources.list' and add

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/d-language-packagers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

Installation

Stable

Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ldc libtango-ldc-dev to install stable releases.

Important notice: Currently there's no stable version of ldc, because it needs LLVM 2.6 which is not available on Lucid anymore! First stable version of LDC will be 0.9.3!

Daily Builds

Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ldc-daily libtango-daily-ldc-dev to install daily builds.
