D programming under MacOS X 10.6, LDC

See http://dsource.org/projects/ldc/wiki/OSXBuildInstructions

Macports to install llvm package (2.9). Then get the latest LDC (tip) from bitbucket mercurial repo, ccmake, adjust paths to match those of MacPorts (/opt/local).

Then build and install tango, as described in the link above.

Edit ldc.conf


switches = [
"-I/opt/local/include/d",
"-I/opt/local/include/d/tango/core/vendor",
"-L-L%%ldcbinarypath%%/../lib",
"-L-ltango",
"-d-version=Tango",
"-defaultlib=tango-ldc",
"-debuglib=tango-ldc"
];

LDC under MacOSX

Can't build it yet but the information I gathered is as follows:

Setup

sudo port install llvm
sudo port install llvm-devel
sudo port install mercurial
sudo port install ruby
sudo port install cmake

hg clone -r 0.9.2 https://bitbucket.org/lindquist/ldc
svn co http://svn.dsource.org/projects/tango/tags/releases/0.99.9 tango

Building LDC

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDEFAULT_TARGET="x86_64-apple-darwin10" ../ldc
make -j2

Genius G-Pen 560 under Ubuntu 10.04

1) add ppa and install wizardpen driver (xorg) from it
2) edit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wizardpen.conf to the following:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
Driver "wizardpen"
Option "TopZ" "32"
Option "BottomZ" "1023"
Option "TopX" "185"
Option "TopY" "372"
Option "BottomX" "11811"
Option "BottomY" "8793"

EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "wizardpen ignore mouse dev"
MatchIsTablet "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"
# MatchVendor "UC-LOGIC|KYE Systems|Ace Cad"
Driver ""
EndSection

3) reboot

link once (simulating c++ template code in pure c with GCC extensions)

The following definition will be merged in all compiled object files, i.e. the first function implementation will be linked into the produced binary and the following copies rejected.

__attribute__((section(".gnu.linkonce.c"))) int commonFunc(int a, int b) {
    return a-b;
}

Ubuntu 9.04 on HP Compaq 6510b

Core2Duo T7250, 2GB, intel 965

LiveCD runs fine, all hardware works.
After installation everything works just fine except compiz -- it doesn't run, although 3D games like TuxRacer, Chromium etc. run smooth.
