= Building Tango =

Building the Tango static libraries is simply a matter of selecting the appropriate build script from the 'lib' directory in the Tango distribution.  It is not necessary to have Tango installed to complete this process successfully.  Here is a list of build scripts by compiler and platform, and the libraries they should generate:

== DMD Win32 ==
   
    - Script: build-dmd.bat
    - Libraries:
       - tango-base-dmd.lib
       - compiler\tango-rt-dmd.lib (*)
       - common\tango-cc-tango.lib (*)
       - gc\tango-gc-basic.lib (*)
    - Script: build-tango.bat
    - Libraries:
       - tango-user-dmd.lib
    - Script: build-win32.bat

       - common/libtango.a (*)
       - compiler/libgdc.a (*)
       - gc/libbasic.a (*)
    - Script: "build-tango.sh mac"
