I recommend use  DMD.
ldc2 is less reliable when building tilix.

[gnunn1]

What version of ldc2 are you using, I'm building with 1.4.0

[pat-s]

@gnunn1 Also 1.4.0

@rancidfrog Haven't found dmd in the official repos. What is the exact name I have to look for?

[alexwhitman]

@pat-s You can download the deb from https://dlang.org/download.html

@alexwhitman that worked for me, thanks

However, now I'm stuck with #916.
Wanted to have 1.7.1 because of the Tab support but its not worth the work for it ;)

[alexwhitman]

Apply the patch in the first comment of #1166 and then it will build on 17.10.

[pat-s]

Thanks, worked! Now I'm stuck with #1213 😄
