xomb building: tools & ways?

[dig...@yandex.ru]

Hi,

There's a a great progress in LDC for 64-bit linux and Tango for it,
so can xomb now be built in some x64 linux distro with LDC? Do you
still use cros-compilation with unsupported GDC?

I'm curios to look at some XoMB action on my core2duo laptop.

Hey!

Yes, we're actually moving to all LDC. We've even managed to get rid of GCC for our assembly.

HOWEVER:

Did you hear about the XOmB Bare Bones project? Basically, we're undergoing a re-write right now, based off of it. And the Bare-Bones compiles completely with LDC. But the current build of XOmB itself does not. In a few weeks we should have everything back in place, and yeah, LDC will be go. If you want, you can check out the current state of the re-write by looking at my or wilkie's github accounts and checking out the 'barebones' or 'ldc' branch. But it doesn't do much at the moment. To do the re-write, we basically took everything out and are putting bits and pieces back in as we go.
