June 15, 2016 Cannot install D in Eclipse on OSX | ||||

Hi, I've tried to install D in both Eclipse Mars and Neon. Loading it directly from the Help/Marketplace gave me all the right prompts, but after I restarted eclipse, D was not installed and I couldn't find it in preferences nor when I tried to open a new project. I got the same result when I used the Eclipse Help/install new programs option, downloaded the osx binary tarball from https://code.dlang.org/download. the file I downloaded was dub-0.9.25-osx-x86_64.tar.gz. I also tried downloading DMD from https://dlang.org/dmd-osx.html. This correctly installed a command line compiler, and gave correct results when I ran the hello.d program. There must be a better way! I'll be overwhelmed with sweat if somebody can either clarify how I can make the installation or hold my hand as I go through installation. Thanks. |

I'm not sure I understood you correctly, but whre you expect D itself (D compiler, DUB) to be installed as part of the DDT installation? DDT is not meant to do that. Quoting from the configuration section: "A D installation is required for most IDE functionality, as well as the DUB tool." (https://github.com/DDT-IDE/DDT/blob/latest/documentation/UserGuide.md#configuration) Sure, it's not as integrated as VisualStudio or even Eclipse JDT, but it's not really a big issue, to have to download these tools separately. (and DUB will soon be included with D distro) -- Bruno Medeiros https://twitter.com/brunodomedeiros |
