V: V 0.1.0 is out: if you were experiencing segfaults on Linux when building it, please try again

[medvednikov]

It should work fine now.

The instructions are the same:

git clone https://github.com/vlang/v ~/code/v
cd ~/code/v/compiler
make

Thanks, good job, it works on ArchLinux :-)

It can't work on Centos7.1 with gcc version 4.8.5 yet as below:

Thanks for letting me know, @mrhdias !

@zhengshuxin, GCC 4.8.5 is 4 years old. Please consider upgrading it.

In the future I'll make sure V can be compiled with older C compilers, but I can't do that right now, sorry.

[zhengshuxin]

Thank you very much and wish V will be more powerful.

[hhhapz]

next goal should be to stop the limitation of the sources to be in ~/code/v!
@medvednikov when do you think this will be fixed :slightly_smiling_face:

[medvednikov]

@Hamzantal today, there was a discussion about this here.

[musou1500]

@medvednikov @Hamzantal
actually, I implemented it experimentally.

You can try it. I would like to get your feedback.

I've compiled V compilter successfuly on Centos7.x with gcc9.1.0 after I upgraded the gcc.

[medvednikov]

It should also build on musl distros now.

[megatux]

Works here, elementary OS Juno, clang v6.0 GCC 7.4 :tada :clap: :

[nuqz]

Just FYI: works fine with GCC 6.3 (released December 21, 2016).

Verified compiled on VoidLinux with musl
