Using dub is one way that works for one group of people. For me the ideal situation that I strive to achieve is that it is dead simple to install any D application using the Linux package manager. Thereby it should not matter if the app is 32-bit only, only compiles with GDC or must use a static Phobos lib opposed to the shared one. The package manager pulls in the correct Phobos dependency in the required version and keeps track of the installed files for a later uninstall when they are no longer needed. Just as it works for any other popular Linux app. Then again if all you need is a quick setup for playing with DMD and external libraries in your home directory, dub is ideal. -- Marco
