It is also worth noting for deployment purposes in package management systems, that it is important that all the build tools necessary have to be in the distribution in order for something to be accepted into the distribution.
So for example Make is acceptable, but Reggae (at least currently) would not be. Scons is not liked in some circles, for purely ancient unthinking prejudice reasons :-(, CMake and Meson are very liked. DMD has not had this problem before because licences meant it would not be packaged by many distributions. With the new licensing regime maybe this can change? On the other hand we have LDC already packaged because, CMake – why do people need DMD. And they will soon have GDC properly, so no need for DMD <slight- trollish-wording-i-agree/> -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
