Since http://www.dsource.org/projects/dwt doesn't seem to work at the moment, I'm posting this here.

http://torhus.googlepages.com/dwt-dmd0177.zip

I just added -d to the batch files, and removed an illegal and seemingly pointless opAssign().  That makes dwt compile with 0.177.  The examples won't compile, however.  No idea why yet, just got a weird linker error.

The main problem probably was that the implicit conversion from a[] to a* is used a lot in the code.  Which -d takes care of.

One annoyance is that if you compile an app that is linked with dwt with -inline, you have to add -d too, otherwise the compiler still complains about a[] -> a* in dwt.  I've fixed this in a few of the dwt files, but the implicit conversion is just used too much.  So for most projects, you need -d if you want inlining.  For now, anyway.

By the way, is anyone else than me still using dwt?  Sort of wish I had chosen wxD instead.

I am using DWT. People working on Poseidon too. DWT is great. I wish Shawn had not abandoned DWT || we had tool to do automatically SWT>DWT translation || at least wxD work with DMD, because currently it is toooooo buggy.

wxD needs some help with DMD and Windows, since I don't use those much.

I know the previous build had Unicode problems, but otherwise it should be limping along for ASCII strings at least ? I only tried it briefly.

I have used DWT too. I love it. D + DWT are a good tools to make a GUI native application.

StyledText did'nt work for me in ControlExample in DWT

First, I get OpCmp not defined for class Integer.

I was trying to append:

public int opCmp(Object obj)
{
 if (cast(Integer)obj)
  return value - (cast(Integer)obj).intValue();
 else
  return 0;
}

to Integer class in util/javatypes.d

But now I get AccesViolation when focus StyledText TAB and before exit ControlExample program.

Any sugestion?

Regards

Hi Bobef,
Frank Benoit aka keinfarbton is working on a tool TIOPORT to automatically
translate Java into D.
Java to XML, XML to D AST, AST to  D.
AFAIK he made a lot of progress in porting SWT/GTK using this tool.
Biggest problem at the moment seems to be Java reflection BUT thanks to the
new ABI Thomas Kuehne is quit optimistic to solve outstanding problems.

I hope I am able to help with the JFace port. since I do not like naked SWT. Bjoern

Sounds good. Keep up the good work.
