At the moment, no. Currently, Tango is D1-only, but druntime (the thing that is supposed to allow Tango and Phobos to play nice together on a single installation) is D2-only. So once Tango is ported to D2, I'd imagine there will probably be a Tango+DMD2 bundle that will include phobos and all your tango *and* phobos calls should work fine. But on D1, a DMD installation is either a tango one or a phobos one (unless you use some ugly hacks). This is what I'd recommend for D1. This is pretty much the way I do it and I find it very easy: 1. Grab a Phobos-based DMD from digitalmars.com and unzip it to something like "dmd-phobos". 2. Grab a Tango+DMD bundle from the Tango site and unzip it to something like "dmd-tango". 3. Set your path to "dmd/bin" (Yes, "dmd", not "dmd-phobos" or "dmd-tango", just "dmd"). 4. Windows: Create a batch script "Switch to DMD Phobos.bat" that deletes the "dmd" directory tree and then copies "dmd-phobos" to "dmd". Do the same for Tango, and then run either of those when you want to switch. Ex (Helpful because I find the appropriate rmdir and xcopy switches to be incredibly hard to remember) ---------------------- @echo off echo Switching to Tango... echo Removing old dmd... rmdir /S /Q dmd echo Copying new dmd... xcopy dmd-tango dmd /E /C /I /Q /H /K /Y echo Done! ---------------------- 4. Unix: Same as windows but make "dmd" a symlink to "dmd-phobos"/"dmd-tango" instead of actually copying (I *think* that should work. If not, you can still just copy it like on Windows). And obviously use sh or bash or something instead of batch. Not sure offhand of the cmd-line to do that, but should be easy to google if you don't already know anyway.
