Hello
How to link application against dwt lib without rdmd? I use monodevelop and need to pass arguments to compiler. if I use rdmd like this:
rdmd build swtsnippets[Snippet195]
it cannot find derelict and fail and I cant imagine how to pass argument to rdmd. And I'd like to use dmd instead of rdmd build

Thanks

I've solved the problem with using -Jpath\to\dwt\org.eclipse.swt.snippets\res\ and linking against every lib from dwt\lib. But I think it isn't clear way - there is nothing about it in readme.

The -J swtich should be handled automatically, if not, please report an issue: https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt/issues/new

To pass a flag to the compiler just pass it before the file when invoking rdmd:

$ rdmd -O -release -I/path/to/derelict build swtsnippets[Snippet195]

If you using monodevelop can you create a project for DWT and link that to your own project and have monodevelop handle the compilation?

When compiling DWT using:

$ rdmd build base swt

It should create a library you can link with. Then but the "swt" (and possible "base") directory in the import path or pass it to the compiler using -I. It should be just like any other library.

I did it, but rdmd didn't find libraries and imports in this case and this was the reason of my post. When I wrote imports to sc.ini then imports were found of course but libraries weren't.

I easily build dwt with rdmd, the problem occurs when I try to compile snippet195 - with opengl that needs additional imports and libs. The other snippets without auxilary dependences build easily and work properly out of box.
What is interesting:
rdmd build swtsnippets
builds snippet195 among others without any error, but on launching executable Windows says it isn't win32 application.

Before report one little qualification - -J switch should be handled automatically without dependence what build system is used? Or only when `rdmd build ...` is used?

Only when "rdmd build" is used. When I think about it, you might needed it even if you have built DWT has a library.

Ok, I know what's going on. When running "rdmd -Ifoo build" all flags passed to rdmd is used when compiling "build.d". build.d is compiled into an executable that rdmd runs. This executable then builds the DWT library. The flags passed to rdmd are not passed down to the "build" executable.

It's possible to pass flags to the executable via rdmd but they are not currently handled by build.d. Please file an issue.

Sorry, I was confusing things.

Yes, it is

No sorry! Thank you for your good job! :)

Then everything works fine as expected!
