Alright so its rebuild's fault
Good - Where can it be going wrong?

Perhaps the confusion is in the fact that DSSS does in fact issue rebuild commands every time. rebuild itself does not build anything that's already been built.

The confusion is with the whole "D" lot -for Linux its a bloody frightful mess

Yes well it seems it is still yours Gregor. I don't see anything here to alter that behaviour anyway so it must be a preset default. So why would it be doing the opposite?
Your credibility to future users is on the line here !

Is this after you changed dsss.conf? Everything is cleaned up after changing dsss.conf, since it doesn't know if the changes will alter the build in a non-backwards-compatible way.

No, the confusion is not with the whole D community, it's you. We (by which I mean the D community) seem to be in agreement that you're just an idiot. You ask extremely vague questions without describing the scenario at all, and then when you're asked to describe the scenario, you describe something utterly irrelevant. Gee, I could have actually given a useful response if you had posted a log in the first place, but that's what a sensible person would have done.

The D community is small and always needs more people, but we don't need morons.

Wash your tongue.

Also, I don't see where Gregor wrote "but he's not too smart ,I see why the prolems and why so few users". You fail, seriously, in all ways possible.

DSSS and rebuild are operating completely correct. Just because you don't get how to use it, doesn't mean it's not working properly. So either you go read the fine manual, or you can pretty much go to hell. Being a smart-ass without any sort of knowledge to back it is kind of stupid.

They let you download and use their software for free, they even try to help you for free. And all you do is act like a spoilt child who thinks the whole world owes you somthing.

It doesnt.

If you cant be polite, then you will always be shunned on any adult programing forum. I suspect with your attitude you probably experience that in many areas of your life.

So i sugest you grow up.. or else..

I must admit I have been very frustrated with D at times as I expected too much of an alpha version (D2 is still considered alpha yes?) that I understand now is still under heavy development and I have been very pleased by the changes I've seen particularly in 2.011 and 2.012. I have found myself using D after having been disappointed by many other languages, fussy as I am.

Given the amount of criticism you appear to have of D, related projects and the people involved I have to ask, why then are you using it?
