digitalmars.D.learn - working with and installing multiple versions of dmd and D's

Hi

I am wondering what a good strategy would be to install and work 
with multiple versions of DMD and the associated standard library 
on Linux/Ubuntu? The background is that for some features and 
libraries I need another compiler/std-lib version than for 
others. So having the opportunity to choose the compiler and the 
associated std-lib manually would be nice.

Hi, for me it looks like a feature of the editor or of the IDE. 
It's implemented in Coedit 
(http://bbasile.github.io/Coedit/options_compilers_paths). It 
works fine because the IDE is an environment that manages the 
selection for the different features (this compiler for the 
scripts, this one for DUB, etc) and changing the selection (use 
this compiler for DUB now, use this one later for another 
project) is also applied directly to DCD.
