gdc-wrapper
===========
`gdc-wrapper` is a wrapper that will allow you to build
[GDC](https://wiki.dlang.org/GDC),
the
[D](https://dlang.org/)
compiler from
[GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/),
using
[DMD](https://wiki.dlang.org/DMD).

Currently, GCC
[documentation](https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html)
states, "In order to build GDC, the D compiler, you need a working GDC compiler (GCC version 9.4 or later) and D runtime library, 'libphobos', as the D front end is written in D."

But this is untrue; DMD can build GDC. This wrapper
binary allows that to happen.

This wrapper binary is ideal for systems that want to
bootstrap their own GDC, usually because these systems
have a DMD binary but not a GDC binary.

Building
--------
`gdc-wrapper` is written in
[D](https://dlang.org/).
The `configure` script will find a suitable D compiler
automatically, or you can manually specify a D compiler
with the `--dmd` configure flag.

```sh
$ ./configure [--dmd=/path/to/dmd]
$ make
```

You can then temporarily add the `gdc-wrapper` binary
to your `PATH`:

```sh
$ export PATH=$PATH:$PWD
```

You can then build GDC as normal. Once GDC has completed
building and installing, you should remove the temporary
`PATH` addition.
