I've created a tool that installs and manages D compilers and different
versions.
Description:
DVM allows you to easily download and install D compilers and manage
different versions of the compilers. When you switch D compiler with the
"use" command the compiler will only be available in the current shell.
This allows you to have one version of the compiler in one shell and
another version in another shell. For example, have a D1 version in one
shell and a D2 version in another.
The tool is available at bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm
The wiki contains installation and usage instructions:
https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm/wiki/Home
Platforms: currently only Posix
Yay! That sounds great!
This is the second thing this week that I'd been intending to do and have
been thrilled to be beaten to the punch :)
You can bet I'll take a crack at porting it to windows...uhhh...assuming I
can find the time...heh ;)
The plan is to have a version for Windows, the D code is written with a
Windows in mind. But the problem is the bash scripts, I'm not sure if a
Windows version is possible. Bash scripting is vastly superior to batch
scripting. For example, I don't know if there is any batch equivalent to
the following in bash:
* The "source" function/command
* .bashrc/bash_profile
In batch there is the "call" function but I don't know if it will retain
any environment variables set by called the script.
There exists a key (or what it's called) in the Windows register where
you can add a path to a script that will be executed when the user logs
in, opens cmd or something like that.
