Tango on Arch Linux

If you have "yaourt" installed, all you have to do to install Tango is the following:

yaourt -S dmd libtango

If not, well, you have two options: A) install yaourt B) build the packages manually

Method A - install yaourt

wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yaourt/yaourt.tar.gz
tar xvfz yaourt.tar.gz
cd yaourt
# you need sudo access
makepkg -i

Method B - manual install

wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dmd/dmd.tar.gz
tar xvfz dmd.tar.gz
cd dmd
makepkg -i
cd ..

wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libtango/libtango.tar.gz
tar xvfz libtango.tar.gz
cd libtango
makepkg -i
cd ..

Notes

DMD is installed into /usr/bin. The DMD configuration file (dmd.conf) is installed into /etc. The Tango static libraries are installed into /usr/lib, and the imports are put in /usr/include/d/tango.

AUR

It's worth noting that you may find more D-related packages for Arch Linux. AUR provides packages such as libtango, libtango-svn, libphobos, dsss and others. You can find more information about the AUR at Arch Linux's wiki.

If you need any assistance, you can contact Anders through A) the comments section in the AUR for the respective package, B) through email, anders1@gmail.com C) IRC, freenode in #d.tango D) smoke signals.
