dbuild is perfectly fine

I've started a Wiki page on the utility's project site to collect ideas and 'votes'.

Can't it use GDC instead of DMD?  To make it compatible with as many D compilers as possible would be a good course of action for the future, thereby warranting a compiler-neutral name.

Stewart, roger that...I agree with your point! That's why everyone, myself included are mainly looking at "dbuild" as the new name.

dmdbuild - this suggestion is now changed to "dobuild", for D Object Build(er)  - the name is a bit catchier! :)

Also, forgive me for my lack of knowledge in this area (because I've only used WinXP and DMD), but what is the executable name of D with the GDC compiler, is it named something like gdc.exe?

Thanks in advance for your reply,
David L.

<snip>

In short, it's gdc.  Whether it has the ".exe" on the end would depend on the platform.  This is one that matches GCC's CLUI rather than DMD's.

GDC also includes a wrapper, also called dmd, which provides a DMD-like CLUI for GDC.  I've also somewhere seen gdmd, but I'm not sure of the difference.
