This can build the static and dynamic libraries on Linux. I
then linked to the static version to make sure my programs
still worked. They did.
For other OSs there'd be some logic to select different files.
It was a pain figuring out exactly what posix.mak did but at
least this works. Is this horrible or is this the kind of
direction we might want to go? Also, why are some Linux files
not being built on Linux with the current Makefile?
In theory this approach would mean readable build descriptions
in D, and only one of them for all OSs instead of 3 makefiles.
Also, never again typing `make clean`.
Once reggae has a binary backend this would mean no dependency
on make, ninja or tup. Just a D compiler.
Nice, I'm looking forward to the day we can get rid of makefiles
to build the D toolchain, as they're such an anachronism. Having
the build configured in D itself would be wonderful, :) really
looking forward to using reggae. Since dmd already requires a
host D compiler to build now, there certainly isn't any problem
with the D dependency.
