I've heard, though, that the version of Make that comes with MSYS is an improvement over the MingW version. Though why, I don't know. MSYS makes a comment about it upon installation. But I can no longer even imagine using any version of Make for D projects now that I've been spoiled by Bud and Rebuild. I never liked using Makefiles, anyway. Now, I consider them archaic and would prefer SCons or other such tools even for C stuff. I’ve been a MingW user for years, along with MSYS, and have used it extensively for C and C++ work.

Its a port of the GNU Make utility that is available on almost every unix OS (at least on linux ;-)) and it should have much more features. Although naturally the whole make-stuff is "missing" some D magic (find out which files will be affected when a certain source file changes etc...)

I've played with it a bit for both C and D programming, but I don't see any benefit to using it over my current set up. Yes, I’m aware of Code::Blocks and have it installed.

It is a life saviour for me :) I've written about it on my - not so active - blog. Ebbe As for a good IDE, you could try using Code::Blocks. It is a life saviour for me :)
