As I'm currently experiencing problems with D installation on Fedora 35, I'm trying to create Dlang environment under my home directory. Specifically, I wrote some rdmd "script" (1) to automatically clone gits of dmd/druntime/phobos/tools, clone them in separate dirs and checkout stable version. the current pitfall is how to configure dmd to use new phobos copy, and not the one which is currently installed system-wide.

maybe there are some other solution to configure dub and dmd to use this separate phobos?

I think you can pass -conf=~/.dmd/dmd.conf to dmd

this isn't ok, because I need more permanent behavior. dmd options - are not permanent decision.

oops. looks like dmd already uses dmd.conf placed next to it.

On Posix systems, dmd searches for dmd.conf in several places, in this order:

1. current directory
2. $HOME directory
3. argv0 directory
4. $SYSCONFDIR (environment variable set when dmd is built), /etc by default
