My router hands out IPv4 addresses by DHCP and these addresses never change for known machines because I keep them all fixed by a MAC-to-IPv4 lookup table set up in the Firebrick.
I really don’t want to cause you a great deal of work fixing the the AArch64 build of GDC. But I won’t stop you ! :-) you really are a hero.
* Tip : Iain Buclaw is the man behind GDC. He’s the man to ask.
* Tip : The
DLang.org forum is there for our pleasure too. I didn’t intend to recruit a kitizen to get the compilers sorted out. But of course I won’t say no to any help.
* I can use LDC instead of GDC on AArch64 if the one is ahead of the other.
* If AArch64 GDC is going to be a pain for you/me/us, then what I could do is leave this until things AArch64-related just mature a bit and then we could try again. Just to avoid you doing work which will be unnecessary later on when other people have sorted various bugs out. Would you prefer to just put things on hold for a while to save a lot of work?
Getting my own machine up on my own network will be good because it will save me the monthly rental costs of the hosted machine. Also I will be able to start trying out certain little project things that I currently can’t do because I have to be inside the network as an essential part of the job.
The current release builds of GDC and LDC have been completely solid and bug-free for many years now so someone somewhere should be able to sort things out. And given that x86-64 builds Must have been thoroughly tested - I mean who uses i686 IA-32 any more ? I had an x86-64 o/s back in 2006 (vista prof (ultimate) x64).
