I hate to ask you to do this, but can you double check that its the same source?

This is fine. I just redid the same steps myself, and it still works fine here.

But build will not create an executable if it doesn't work. Do you have one lying around from some previous run of dmd? You can use the -full switch to force it to be recompiled.

I suspect that you get this message because you have created an executable some other way.  Build is just saying that the month.exe file was created after the last change to month.d and jic.d, and that month.obj and jic.obj also exist and were created before month.exe. In other words, the files are up to date and nothing needs to be recompiled.

And what Windows error would that be?

Can you run build with the -V switch and show me the output, plus the contents of month.rsp file? Before doing so, delete month,obj and jic.obj.

For example, this is what I get ...

C:\TEMP>build month -V >verb.txt

Let's take this one at a time. :-)

Well, it's probably my system.  It has so much "complicated" stuff on it. :-) I am running XP, by the way.

Wait a second, mate!  Are you saying that if you run

dmd month.d

it works for you?  It should not.  That was my original question.  I get

10:14:27.58>dmd month.d

month.obj(month)

Which then creates these files:
03/12/2005  10:17 AM            88,604 month.exe
03/12/2005  10:17 AM             2,529 month.map
03/12/2005  10:17 AM               836 month.obj

This is also wrong, my friend.  For example, take a look at my directory right now:

10:26:17.02>dir
Volume in drive D is DATA
Volume Serial Number is 241D-5C0B

Directory of D:\myprograms\d\jic

Well, it created 4 files:
1. month.exe
2. month.map
3. month.obj
4. month.rsp

So, you may think this works, but if I run month.exe, I get the same message that you got on the last post I sent.

Derek Parnell also asked...

Ok, then.  It works as designed.  Nonetheless, the executable is not good. Which is a problem with dmd.  But that's another post. (It's coming, Walter. :-))

Okay! I've found the problem. You have two (2) jic.d files. One in D:\myprograms\d\ and another in c:\dmd\src\phobos\

I got the clue from the -V display...

As you can see above, build found a jic.d in the phobos package and as it ignores stuff there, it didn't put it in the command line for dmd. So the dmd command line just had month.d on it and not jic.d as well.

By default, build does not compile stuff in the phobos package, so if you take jic.d out of the phobos package, it should work.

Yep.  That was it.  sorry.  That was a few hours before the post.  I was trying to make it work with dmd month.d.  My sincere apologies.

Thanks...

Yep!  That did it.  Thanks again and I join the whole gang who said thanks to you for the wonderful utility.
