Hi, I just downloaded the D compiler to play around with it a bit. I tried to compile some samples:

D ALPHA Experimental release
www.digitalmars.com
Error: Error reading file 'object.d'

Hmm... I can find object.d within the SRC folder for the runtime lib. Do I have to add this directory to the include variable? What do I have to do, for a correct setup?

You don't need to do anything special to setup it properly. However, when compiling programs don't forget the -I key:

    dmd -Ic:/dmd/src/phobos wc.d

Hi, thanks for the informaion! I didn't expect to spacify the source directory of the runtime library as an include path ;-)) Robert

Think of it as the "import" path, not the "include" path!

Don't forget, it's just an alpha. Probably Walter will add automatic resolution of Phobos location in future versions. This is not a high-priority thing, though, so I wouldn't expect it soon... =)

I expect to make the dmd.exe handle the link step itself eventually, too. Priority goes to getting the language fully implemented.

Not something strongly required. I personally made a simple batch file which runs the linker if errorleve is 0.

Absolutely. I'd better have a fully working compiler that requires me to link everything manually =)

By the way, what is NOT implemented, apart from in/out blocks inheritance (which I came over already)?

I want to get some sort of packaging designed and implemented, such as:

    import foo.bar.abc;

What's also not implemented is a lot of the runtime checks, such as array bounds checking.
