Hello all,

I tried to install Mango and I found that it requires ldc. the makefile for Mango is from
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/mango/trunk/mango/build/ldc/makefile

I tried to install ldc on Windows but it doesn't go very smooth for the whole weekend, so I decide to try to install Mango with DMD.

I tried to change these two lines for start

DC=ldc   <--change to DMD
DFLAGS=-release -O -inline -oq -c    <----error at oq

I do not understand -oq and -c mean for ldc, and I cannot find anything from web.

Anyone who can assist me on this or is there a better alternatives to install Mango with DMD?

Thank you.

That project hasn't been touched in 4 years. It will likely require a non-trivial amount of work to port it to modern D. It might be worth it, it might not, I don't know. If you did, you would want to use https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2 as mango depended on Tango in D1

dsource is dead, pretty much nothing there is maintained, code.dlang.org is your best bet for finding modern D projects.

Yes, I did try out the SiegeLord/Tango-D2 and it works great. And now I'm trying to integrate Mango as it is crucial for my current development.

What are your requirements? There may be an alternative library you could use.

I need a secure private communication between clients and server.
I don't use other common tools as it is not "private" enough.
A good example is from http://svn.dsource.org/projects/mango/trunk/example/xml/rpc/

where I can pass my struct between client and server and I want to make encryption for the serialized data communication. I know there are a lot of tools like C# that can achieve that easily, but I want good performance and I like D.

Is it possible to modify Mango to be compatible with D2?

I did some research , D2 + phobos + tango + mango + encryption can give me what I want.

Vibe.d has support for ssl streams. You should be able to send and receive raw structs over such a stream, or if the server and client have a different arch you can use vibe's bson serialisation.

Vibe.d is graet, but my worry is that since it is not open-source and free, so it is kind of difficult for me to use it. Because Vibe.d might one day become a commercial product.
There is nothing wrong with that, but my current situation doesn't quite allow that, I'm restricted to use free software for now.
