June 26, 2005 Question about Derelict | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hi, I finally decided to give Derelic a try to fool around a little in SDL. I downloaded Derelic 0.1 from DSource but when I try to import SDL I get following error message: C:\dmd\src\derelict\sdl\events.d(220): cannot implicitly convert expression (-1) of type int to ubyte I understand the problem but why was a constant with the value -1 declared to be an unsigned integer in the first place? Why is such an error in the sources? Everybody must have problems with this declaration so in fact Derelict is useless in this state. And what is the workaround? Regards, Nils |

For future reference, please post questions about derelict here http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=19&sid=9311bf5994b3a229dedb8a3d4bbf07ae if possible. If you did not realize, Derilict 0.1 is sorely outdated, roughly a year old. The D compiler has been evolving ever since that time, and the 0.1 release doesn't work with the current D compiler. Your best bet is to get a hold of SVN here http://subversion.tigris.org/ and download the latest version of derelict from its repository. (http://svn.dsource.org/projects/derelict) More instructions can be found here http://www.dsource.org/site/svnclient.php just remember that you use svn.dsource.org/projects instead of svn.dsource.org/svn/projects. Goodluck! |

Why is such an error in the sources? Everybody must have problems with this declaration so in fact Derelict is useless in this state. And what is the workaround? One of these days I'll get some new zip archives uploaded. Derelict has grown and evolved quite a bit since that 0.1 archive was posted. Until new release archives get posted (the only thing remaining to do before that happens is to implement the Linux scripts for the Build utility), the current version can always be checked out of svn. The "New Users" thread in the Derelict forums (http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=828) should go a long way toward getting you started. |

Sorry, I will do so in the future. > If you did not realize, Derilict 0.1 is sorely outdated, roughly a year old. The D compiler has been evolving ever since that time, and the 0.1 release doesn't work with the current D compiler. I thought so, but I was puzzled by the lack of information and tempted by the ease downloading the archive on dsource ;-) > Your best bet is to get a hold of SVN here http://subversion.tigris.org/ and download the latest version of derelict from its repository. (http://svn.dsource.org/projects/derelict) Did as proposed and everything works like a charm now, thanks! Regards, Nils |

It did, thanks. And by the way: Great Work!
It's a pity though that Python didn't make it into derelict since it's an awesome language and would be a wonderful addition to any D app in need of scripting support. But maybe someday ...
Best regards,
Nils

But maybe someday ... It will be there eventually, as I really want to use it myself. |
