Features

Derelict supports some useful features for project development, including:

• Cross platform compatability with shared libaries - Code that is developed on a Windows machine will compile on a Linux machine, provided both machines have the necessary libraries.

• Selective symbol loading - This helps your application support machines that don't have the same version of a library as the development machine. Specify what parts of a library your application will use, and the program will work with all versions of the library that support those features.

To start using Derelict, you will need Derek Parnell's Build Utility and the latest Derelict source directory.
