I've been working on this silly little program in C++ and am having some problems getting it to run.  Error codes refer to something wrong in the money.h file, however I am not capable of fixing the problem.

Normally, I wouldn't think of asking this question here, but I running out of time so I thought I might give it a shot.

Thanks in advance.
Andrew

(P.S. The header file was created by the writers of a book I'm using called "Problem Solving, Abstraction, and Design Using C++," which is loaded with problems of its own.)

I have the file...but am unsure of how to link another source file to my own. The only linking I'm capable of right now is that which is automatically performed after compilation.

I got it!
Thanks allot Pavel.

Maybe I'm crazy but it seems that DMD could automatically figure out what OBJ and LIBs are necessary (to a point!) by analyzing import statements in the main file.

It should be able to get all the ones in the main app because they are all interconnected.  Stuff like OpenGL, WinGDI, etc would have to be specified but with some small addition to the language we could specify this information inside the D import "header"

For instance in WinGDI.d:

// WinGDI.d
// import functions within WinGDI32.DLL

import wingdi32.lib;

struct RECT
{
  int left,top,right,bottom;
}

...

Then we would not have to pass much at all to the LINK command line.  Just paths so it can find all the libraries it decides it needs.

Indeed. Delphi does it since version 1.0. =)

It is entirely possible to do that with D. It is not, strictly speaking, a feature of the language but of the compiler.

It's also possible with a D build system to eliminate make.

Getting rid of the preprocessor was good.

But you're going to take away Make as well?

Next thing you know, you'll replace my bash and wish (TCL) shells with a D
interpreter.

Then the only language I'll need to know will be D.

Wait:  You're not planning on making powerful regexps part of the D language, are you?

No?  Then it looks like I'll be able to keep Perl after all...

That's not a bad idea though. That would be rather nice.

Any thoughts on making this a serious library ... ?

Phobos has a nice regexp package in it. -Walter

See, I told you I didn't know anything. :)
