None of them worked.
Most of those build utilities do exactly what make + your perl-foo do.
No, they don't.
Actually, you're probably right here. To my knowledge, there are only two
build tools that take advantage of the -deps compiler option - rdmd and
xfbuild. Older ones were forced to parse the source files - rebuild even
used DMD's frontend for that. There's also a relatively new tool (dbuild
oslt?) which generates makefiles.
That's the point: I was _getting started_ with D2. I had no strong
desire to reinvent the wheel, build tool-wise. But the tools I was
pointed at just didn't work.
When a tool works for the author and many other users but not for you, you
have to wonder where the fault really is. Besides, aren't all these tools
open-source? The one time I had a problem with DSSS, it was easy to fix,
and I sent the author a patch and everyone was better off from it. Isn't
that how open-source works? :)
