Needs to be expanded with a short section on contributing (and a separate CONTRIBUTING file, for the GitHub feature), ... LICENSE also needs an overhaul, and our files need license headers.

LDC – the LLVM D Compiler
|
||
=========================
|
||
|
||
The LDC project aims to provide a portable D programming language
|
||
compiler with modern optimization and code generation capabilities.
|
||
|
||
The compiler uses the official DMD frontends to support both D1 and D2,
|
||
and relies on the LLVM Core libraries for code generation.
|
||
|
||
LDC is fully Open Source; the parts of the code not taken/adapted from
|
||
other projects are BSD-licensed (see the LICENSE file for details).
|
||
|
||
Please consult the project website for further information:
|
||
http://ldc-developers.github.com
|
||
|
||
|
||
Installation
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
In-depth material on building and installing LDC and the standard
|
||
libraries, including experimental instructions for running LDC on
|
||
Windows, is available on the project wiki, at
|
||
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/wiki/Installation.
|
||
|
||
For the impatient, a quick guide for building on *nix systems:
|
||
|
||
1) Make sure your system has the necessary prerequisites:
|
||
- a working C++ build environment,
|
||
- CMake,
|
||
- LLVM 3.0+ (3.1 preferred),
|
||
- libconfig++ (http://hyperrealm.com/libconfig/libconfig.html).
|
||
|
||
2) Check out the library submodules, if you have not already:
|
||
$ cd ldc
|
||
$ git submodule update --init
|
||
|
||
3) Build and install LDC:
|
||
$ mkdir build && cd build # Out-of-source builds are recommended.
|
||
$ cmake .. # Use -DD_VERSION=1 to build the D1 compiler.
|
||
$ make
|
||
$ make install # Or run LDC directly from the bin/ directory.
|
||
|
||
In case the above steps do not work, please first visit the extended
|
||
documentation under the aforementioned URL.
|
||
|
||
Some Linux distributions are also packaging a recent version of LDC,
|
||
so building it manually might not be necessary.

-------
|
||
|
||
The best way to get in touch with the developers is either via the
|
||
mailing list at ldc-dev@googlegroups.com, or the #ldc IRC channel on
|
||
FreeNode. We can usually be found on the main (Digital Mars) language
|
||
newsgroups (http://forum.dlang.org) as well.

Feedback of any kind is very much appreciated!
