The One With D

Derelict Does the Redmond Tango (Sort of)

After the last post regarding Tango-ized Derelict on Linux, I realized that the user who had tested it (waves to odeamus) was actually on Windows. The difference between the two of us is that he was compiling with Rebuild and I was using Bud. So, I updated my copy of Rebuild and tried it out on sdl_ex1. And so I beheld a miracle. An executable was created and it wasn’t corrupt. I launched it and it ran flawlessly.

So, you can now use Tango-ized Derelict on Windows as long as you build your app with Rebuild. I won’t be adding support to the build script for any of this just yet, so until I do Rebuilding your app is your only option. Though I assume DSSS will work, since it is constructed on top of Rebuild.

When the situation changes I will post both here and in the Derelict forums.
