Arch Linux

Description:

As the dmd package is still broken due to the PIE changes, here's a step-by-step guide to fix it.
Please let me know if you have questions or need more detailed instructions.
Thanks!

1) dmd.conf

Add -fPIC like on the official config:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/ini/linux/bin64/dmd.conf

2) Fix your host compiler, e.g.

source $(curl https://i.dlang.io | bash -s dmd-2.075.0-rc1 -a)

Or grab the properly built binaries here: http://dlang.org/download.html

3) Set PIC=1 at the PKGBUILD
