The GtkD README gives the distinct impression that DSSS is the only way of building GtkD and any projects using it. However, according to its own webpage, DSSS is a Dv1 system that cannot work with Dv2, which I guess indicates either a system with little future or a lack of maintenance of webpages. Certainly it ought to be feasible to create a C, C++, Fortran, D build system using D that could be far superior to Make, CMake, Autotools. As noted on the DSSS page integration with a unified package management system is a USP. Go has shown that this works very well by integrating GitHub, BitBucket and Launchpad as repositories, rather than using a special one a la CTAN, CPAN, Gems. Current I tend to build C, C++, Fortran, D using SCons or Waf, but if a reinvigorated and Dv2 compatible DSSS can compete and work with repositories on GitHub, BitBucket and Launchpad rather than just it's own repository, I am happy to make use of it. Alternatively if there is a description of how to build GtkD that doesn't involve installing DSSS I am happy to write a SCons build.
