How to install derelict using dsss and dmd

I'm starting with the D programming language and I wanted to do some graphics programming stuff with OpenGL, so I understand the way to go is to use the Derelict bindings.

Now, I installed the DMD 2 compiler, also DSSS, but I'm having trouble installing derelict using dsss net install derelict. It says that "gdc is not in $PATH". I don't understand if the install needs the gdc compiler or what. Can I change dsss to use dmd instead?

Also, bonus question, does Derelict support D2 or do I need Derelict2?

EDIT: I'm on OSX 10.7

For a more Modern answer, brew install dmd dub and then follow the instructions at http://dblog.aldacron.net/derelict-help/using-derelict/ . Here is an example of my dub.json file as an example:

{
   "name": "dengine",
   "description": "A little game engine.",
   "authors": ["Matthew Clark"],
   "homepage": "http://example.com",
   "license": "GPL-2.0",
   "dependencies": {
     "derelict-sdl2":"~master",
     "derelict-assimp3":"~master",
     "derelict-gl3":"~master"
   }
}

Then you just run dub and it's a beautiful thing!

You need Derelict2 (or eventually the newest Derelict3). Just checkout the relevant branch on the dsource svn (or github for Derelict3).

What I do is just compiling the Derelict sources I need and link it with my own code, without making a static library first.

Can't help you with DSSS, or what would be a suitable D build system on OS X.
