What is this phobos crap?

I've tried renaming all my modules with an _ (underscore) in case they were colliding with phobos.

------ Build started: Project: BasicSimpleTypeTheoryApp, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Building Win32\Debug\BasicSimpleTypeTheoryApp.exe...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'phobos32mscoff.lib'
Building Win32\Debug\BasicSimpleTypeTheoryApp.exe failed!

All I have is two abstract classes essentially with 2 1-line methods, nothing out-of-the ordinary.

Thanks.

Minimal example is now just hello world:

module BasicSimpleTypeTheoryApp;

import std.stdio;
//import _variable;

int main()
{
   // auto v = new Variable("v");

   writeln("Hello D World!\n");
   readln();
   return 0;
}

I tried re-installing DMD, and now for either 64-bit or x86 build mode, I'm getting the Phobos linker error:

------ Build started: Project: BasicSimpleTypeTheoryApp, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
Building x64\Debug\BasicSimpleTypeTheoryApp.exe...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'phobos64.lib'

In other words re-installing didn't help.

[...]

It has nothing to do with colliding identifiers.  You're missing a path to Phobos.  Probably dmd.conf or some other configuration file doesn't have the correct path defined, or you're missing (the correct version of) the Phobos library file(s) for some reason.
