Re: Best build tool for D projects

Thanks to everyone for the help and advice on choosing a build tool for my D+LLVM project. I settled on Jam (ftjam) in the end, the major factor being cross-platform support and prebuilt binaries for a variety of operating systems. The documentation for Jam I've found is very lacking but have
