digitalmars.D.learn - Tango Jake or other build system for Linux

I would like to compile programs on Linux using LDC and Tango using 
similar tool as is bundled with Windows version of Tango - jake.exe. This 
build tool is not included in Linux version of Tango and I'm not able to 
find it's source code anywhere.

Is there any tool for Linux that can parse imports of files and invoke 
compiler with all project files? (And preferably one which does not 
require any configuration, except choosing compiler).

I'm also curious why the jake.exe is not available for Linux and why it 
does not have available source code.

Thanks.

Have you tried using rebuild?

I'd strongly recommend xfbuild, it's actively developed, and can be over 
twice as fast as rebuild. http://wiki.team0xf.com/index.php?n=Tools.XfBuild

It will be even better when it eventually gets support for config files 
and implicit file names (coming soon I believe). If you intend to use 
dmd then it will require a patch, ldc already has this applied though.

Bud is very nice but starts to fail when your code depends on templated 
types.

Thanks for this feedback. Can you give an example of what you mean by
"starts to fail" and maybe some failing code too. 

I'll see what I can do to fix it.

  By using bud tango-user-dmd should not have to be linked in but if I 
don't I get link errors. I have never tried to narrow it down until now 
and should be very simple to fix:

module test;


import gtk.RadioButton;

/*import tango.text.convert.Integer;
import tango.stdc.stringz;    //uncomment these to allow it to link
import tango.io.Stdout;*/

void main()
{
}

That is importing a module from gtkd but anything that makes use of 
tango while in .di files should also reproduce the error.
