I have downloaded DWT2 with TortoiseHg already and I've installed Ruby and Rake. But when I try to build the packages I get the following error message: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/62/dwt2error.png/ Is there anybody who can help me? I believe it's possible to use DWT2 and Tango - isn't it? It's called DWT2 because it's a port of the existing DWT code to D2. Tango is a replacement standard library for D1, so no, they can't really be used together. I'm not sure about the state of DWT1, but it should be fairly stable, even if it hasn't been worked on recently. As an overview, D1 originally had Phobos as the standard library, but it wasn't that great, so an independent team built Tango as a replacement. Tango hasn't ever officially shipped with DMD, the reference compiler, but it's pretty much become the standard for D1 (with a few exceptions and attempts to reconcile it with Phobos). Nowadays, we have D2 and Phobos2 (which is generally just called Phobos). There's an ongoing project to port Tango to D2 as well, and Druntime, the runtime library, has been separated from Phobos2 to hopefully make Tango and Phobos2 coexist if/when that D2 port is completed (back in D1, Phobos and Tango both included their own runtimes, so you couldn't use both at the same time). In the meantime, Phobos2 far better than Phobos1, and Andrei has been leading its development. "Learn to Tango with D" obviously refers to D1/Tango "The D Programming Language" refers to D2/Phobos2 Hopefully that makes everything a bit clearer.
DWT2 is supposed to work with D2/Phobos and D1/Tango, anything other is a bug. I haven't compiled DWT with D1/Tango for a while now so it might not compile.
