Using LDC

Generally, LDC should be straightforward to use, like any other compiler. It comes with two different »drivers«, i.e. executables a user invokes to compile D code: ldc2, which offers many customization options, some of which are internal to LLVM, and ldmd2, which tries to accurately replicate the DMD command line interface and can be used as a drop-in replacement for DMD.

Configuration file search path

LDC looks for a file called ldc.conf resp. ldc2.conf in the follow directories in order:

1. current working directory
2. next to binary
3. ~/.ldc
4. user home directory (Windows-only)
5. in an etc directory next to the directory where the binary resides
6. install-prefix (Windows-only)
7. install-prefix/etc
8. install-prefix/etc/ldc
9. /etc
10. /etc/ldc
