What is the current best reactance for installing phobos and tango at the 
same time?

I really don't want to have to maintain a VM just to keep both setups alive 
and happy. <g>

Windows? I use the junction tool somebody recommended in a previous thread on the subject, and I'm happy with this situation. I guess linux supports this out of the box. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Junction.mspx Then I have two batch files, something like this: //usetango.bat echo off echo creating junction point for dmd-tango junction -d f:\dev\dmd junction f:\dev\dmd f:\dev\_tango copy f:\dev\dsss\etc\rebuild\useTango f:\dev\dsss\etc\rebuild\default //usephobos.bat echo off echo creating junction point for dmd-phobos junction -d f:\dev\dmd junction f:\dev\dmd f:\dev\_phobos copy f:\dev\dsss\etc\rebuild\usePhobos f:\dev\dsss\etc\rebuild\default It does require to keep everything that is not phobos / tango dependant out of their respective paths or duplicate them. Haven't tried dsss net tango yet.

There are a veriety of solutions on Windows. http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/PhobosTangoCooperation I'm sure someone has come up with something clever on Linux. -- Kirk McDonald http://kirkmcdonald.blogspot.com Pyd: Connecting D and Python http://pyd.dsource.org

I believe there is a Windows utility bundled with Tango, called revert.e= xe (or was it renamed to switch.exe?). It detects your current library b= ased on the .lib file, and renames some files like this: lib\tango_phobos.lib =3D> lib\phobos.lib <=3D lib\dmd_phobos.lib bin\build.cfg.tango <=3D> bin\build.cfg <=3D> bin\build.cfg.phobos bin\sc.ini.tango <=3D> bin\sc.ini <=3D> bin\sc.ini.phobos Or something like that. Check the source if you're dubious (SVN path is = install/windows/switch.d). Anyway, I made a tango.bat and phobos.bat, which call revert with the co= rresponding parameter. It works very well, combined with a similar syste= m for switching between DMD 1.x/2.x (this time using symlinks, much like= Lutger's method). -- = Best regards, Vladimir mailto:thecybershadow gmail.com

I just run a script that changes my PATH to a different compiler installation path; one for phobos, one for tango.

Thank All. I'll try these. Does anyone have experience doing this kind of stuff under Code::Blocks? I'd like to one project (or maybe even a build target) that uses Phobos and another that uses Tango. I'm puzzling around trying things. If no one known how to do this, I see what I can find.

Under project -> build options -> pre/post build steps, you can specify shell commands. They can be set to specific build-targets.

I found that, however they don't seem to be able to do things like set environment variable for the later steps. I'm somewhat hesitant to have them muck with global settings.
