No, indeed it's not.  I understand what you're saying now :)

I'll reply some more in the other thread of this topic.

Does voxel.d contain the import statement "import math;"?

If so, change that to "import std.math;", does that fix it?

If not, find out what file does i.e. maybe c:\dmd\src\phobos\object.d does (seems unlikely to me).

Thanks, that fixed my problem. I didn't realize D's method of converting dots to slashes. Wierd way actually, but ok it does the job.

Anyway, now I get alot of compile errors from Tinyptc.d and voxel.d. Both by Pavel Minayev. It seems the TinyPTC port is far from finished at this point, so I'm giving up, might take a shot at porting when I get up to speed on D.

Btw, is #digitalmars.D reachable through the standard USENET channels in any way? I've noticed Dejanews doesn't index any of the channels Web-News reads.

I believe people go direct to the news server at news.digitalmars.com. IIRC Walter has tried to get other news servers to index these groups without luck.

I'm not familiar with TinyPTC or Voxel, but Pavel hasn't been around for a long, long, long time, so most likely those modules are for old DMD versions.

I just downloaded dmd, Entice and dfl myself.
Try using dfl as compiler command instead of dmd, like this:
C:\dmd\bin\dfl myform.d -gui

Change it under Tools > Compile Command...
Works for me, but I don't really know why :)

I'll check it out, however, the problem was that the program I was trying to compile (TinyPTC for D) was written in 2002 when the directory tree of phobos was very different and the D language was also different, and also that the program was full of bugs.

Now I'm having problems trying to build Tango instead...
