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.

I'm sure someone has come up with something clever on Linux.

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).

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.
