well, title says it all - is there something like it out there?
I have tried to install Tango, but about half an hour later in path+linkage
hell with two different versions of D, I just quit and won't do it anymore,
ever.

So basically, I am on latest D 2.x and would like to utilize OpenGL, OpenAL, SDL and other goodies, along with Bud. Is there a hope?

I have some stuff for D 1.x and (GNU) Make, maybe it would work ?

Derelict works with both Tango and Phobos. Additionally, while 2.0 for derelict is not supported, some folks have made a 2.0 port in the Derelict forums.

Derelict works with Phobos just fine. As for D2.0, there are enough people asking about that now that I've recently decided to add a Derelict2 branch supporting D2.0 to the subversion repository. It's going to be a few days before I can take the time to get it done, but you can expect to see it later this week.

In the meantime, there's a port someone did that is linked in the Derelict forums (and probably on the project wiki as well). I don't know if it works with the latest D2.x, since the string changes were made.

I found it! But in the meanwhile I have isntalled 1.x along with 2.x, just to be safe to eliminate any possible weird problems while I'm learning :) I really look forward to 2.x release, since I really like 2.x. Also, I'm really into Phobos - Tango reminds me too much of Java style, which I don't like - but there are some features of it (Tango) that I like.. maybe there will be a way to use both Phobos and Tango one day. Actually, I don't understand why did Tango developers chose to "replace" Phobos, while it (Tango) could be as it is as a 3rd party library.

anyways, thanks for the help guys - looking forward to 2.x release!

I've tried your bindings a few weeks ago, and they're not working.
First, you have some variables named "ref" in OpenGL which doesn't work in D 1.x (unless you use the -v1 switch).
Second, and more importantly, you're still using the idiom:
  version (Windows)
    extern (Windows):
  else
    extern (C):
Which no longer works in D1.x.

Thanks, I'll take a look at updating them some day.

I updated the code to use "ref_" and removed all extern(Windows) legacy.
(Probably requires MinGW to build, but it could be considered a feature)

"Still using" is relative, the code was from 2005 and used to work then.
Tested OK now on Mac OS X 10.4 with GDC 0.24 (~ DMD 1.020), at least...

There must be some issue with GDC then, because that simply does not compile with, for example, either DMD 1.018 or DMD 1.023.
