Hi

I am wondering what a good strategy would be to install and work with multiple versions of DMD and the associated standard library on Linux/Ubuntu? The background is that for some features and libraries I need another compiler/std-lib version than for others. So having the opportunity to choose the compiler and the associated std-lib manually would be nice.

Hi, for me it looks like a feature of the editor or of the IDE. It's implemented in Coedit (http://bbasile.github.io/Coedit/options_compilers_paths). It works fine because the IDE is an environment that manages the selection for the different features (this compiler for the scripts, this one for DUB, etc) and changing the selection (use this compiler for DUB now, use this one later for another project) is also applied directly to DCD.

Many thanks! dvm works as a dream and I will also give Coedit a try
