When using a compiled dmd is there some way to allow dvm to manage it?

Even if it requires some manual intervention to set up, I'd like to be able to do:

$ dvm use master

Thanks,

I'm not sure I understand, DVM already handles a compiled DMD. That's the default, what it always have handled.

If you want to have a different name then you can just go ahead and renamed the necessary files and folders. What's needed for DVM to recognize a compiler:

In the ~/.dvm folder:

Folders:
* compilers/dmd-<name>
    |--- bin - standard DMD bin folder
    |--- src - standard DMD src folder
    |--- lib - standard DMD lib folder

Files:
* env/dmd-<name> - take a look at how the other env files look like
* bin/dmd-<name> - take a look at how the other bin files look like (not strictly necessary)
* compilers/dmd-<name>/bin/dmd.conf - standard DMD dmd.conf file except the "src" folder is just one level up instead of two:

[Environment]

DFLAGS=-I%@P%/../src/phobos -I%@P%/../src/druntime/import -L-L%@P%/../lib

For Windows it should be similar, but instead of in ~/.dvm DVM is located somewhere else. I think it's in %APPDATA%\dvm which would be %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\dvm. Nick knows how it works on Windows better than I do.

It's in "%APPDATA%\dvm". On my computer, that resolves to "C:\Documents and Settings\Nick Sabalausky\Application Data\dvm", but naturally that's going to vary.

Everything else Jacob said about DVM's structure on Linux also applies to Windows DVM, too. The only differences are the content inside the scripts (and the fact that they're batch instead of linux shell, obviously).

I do like the idea of being able to do stuff like "dvm install ./myDMD mydmd && dvm use mydmd" or "dvm use ./myDMD".
