Yes, as part of MSVC, I belive. It's been around for a long time, actually.

They're extremely trivial to > install, especially Cygwin... I've had a lot of problems getting them installed and working in the past. (Even just figuring out what installers you needed, and in what order, used to be inexplicably convoluted - I think that may have been fixed now though.) Plus, *any* prerequisite is a barrier to entry: This unfortunately isn't Linux where you can just "sudo apt-get install whatever" and get all prerequisites for free (free as in effort) (And yea, I know apt-get isn't universal across Linux). _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta
