Tango and Phobos side-by-side?
Posted: 06/14/07 17:58:03Hello,
Is it possible to have the official libgphobos and tango side-by-side? The reason is that developers working with the official GDC will build applications that depend on libgphobos, using the original API. Then some developers may build applications targeting Tango. As far as I understand, the tango library replaces the libgphotos. As a consequence, I think it is not possible to run an application depending on the original phobos, and an application depending on tango. I understand that you wan to replace the original API, I do not know about you, but I think it sucks (yours rules). But why isn't it two separate libraries with an option to select one of them.
I ask this because I would like to build packages for Arch Linux. But I realize that a user could either install an official GDC or a Tango-flavored GDC, but not both!
