D Packages in Guix

D Packages in Guix

[Tobias Platen]

I had a look at Inochi2D[1], which is written in D.
D has its own packagemanager called dub, so a dub-importer will be
needed to build Inochi2D with guix

Such an importer would certainly be welcome.  I recently 
encountered my first D package in the wild.

However: there's nothing stopping you from packaging D(ub) 
packages for Guix today.  You don't need an importer for that.

For inochi2d, it seems like you'll need[0]:

  imagefmt
  inmath
  silly
  bindbc-opengl
  bindbc-loader
  fghj
  mir-algorithm
  mir-core

Not nothing, but nowhere near ‘we absolutely need an importer to 
use this language’ levels either.

Aside: there are some unmerged improvements to the 
dub-build-system at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55999> that might 
be of interest to you.

Kind regards,

T G-R

In the meanwhile I saw
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/dlang.scm#n423

but it does not support ppc64le and aarch64 yet, so I'll try that out
on my machine. I'll submit patches if something does not work. I'll try
aarch64 first.
