Installing LDC on Gentoo
There is a Gentoo portage overlay for the LDC compiler officially supported by the developers. You can add the overlay with layman. If you do not have layman yet then install it with
emerge -av layman
After that you have to add to /etc/portage/make.conf the following line:
source "/var/lib/layman/make.conf"
To use the LDC overlay, simply add our URL to /etc/layman/layman.cfg:
overlays : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
https://raw.github.com/ldc-developers/gentoo-overlay/master/overlays.xml
Then update the overlay list
layman -L
and add the LDC overlay:
layman -a ldc
To emerge LDC you simply type:
emerge -av ldc2
Currently the LDC packages are marked as unstable. If you do not accept unstable packages globally then you have to add to /etc/portage/package.keywords the entry
dev-lang/ldc2 **
