Can somebody please tell me why the Thread in
this class will not wait when requested?
-----------------------------
class painter : Thread {


void start(){
 run(this);
  }

void run(void* p){

  theCanvas.penColor(200,200,100);

  for(int i = 0; i < 14; i++){
    printf("ticking");
    wait(1000);
    theCanvas.line(158,158, dot[i][0], dot[i][1]);
    }

  }

}
------------------------------
I have done this wrong, but what is
the correct way?

Take a look at the source to std.thread.wait(). Maybe put a printf in there
and see what's happening.

I dont know of a way to do this(rebuild phobos)
 because I dont have a FAT32 file sys, I have NTFS
and apparently there is another  file called "SC"
on  my PC that is being called instead of your
"SC".   I think it is somthing to do with the NT
file sys.
I am correct is assuming that I would have to
rebuild phobos?

I doubt it's a FAT vs NTFS issue, anything is possible. My suspicion is that need to adjust your path.  Have you checked your path yet?

Since you're on XP, I won't bother talking about "autoexec.bat". Right-click on "My Computer". Click on "Properties". Click on the "Advanced" tab. Click on the "Environment Variables". In the "System variables" frame, there should be an entry called "Path". Put c:\dm\bin;c:\dmd\bin; at the front of the list and see if the right SC is found. I don't know if this will help you, but it solved my problem with my computer running the wrong make in the past.

(My apologies for being useful and condescending if you've already done this. :) )

By the way, I've had various problems rebuilding phobos, too. I've succeeded once or twice, but the other times -- well, I got frustrated and gave up.  I guess I need to be more stubborn.

It states it in the error that it is an NT process or similar. Anyway:
I thought of that, but I didnt want to do it because
im not sure what the other SC is for and I didnt
want dm's SC to be called to do the task's of the
other(if you know what I mean).
So I changed the partition back to FAT32
and reformatted my HD.
I will try to rebuild phobos later tonight.

If anyone else out there, has XP on a NTFS
are  you able rebuilt phobos on your sys?

I would definetely prefer a NTFS system.

Thanks
          Phill.

FYI this  is what the other SC is:
-------------------------------------------
SC
Communicates with the Service Controller and installed services. SC.exe
retrieves and sets control information about services. You can use SC.exe
for testing and debugging service programs. Service properties stored in the
registry can be set to control how service applications are started at boot
time and run as background processes. SC.exe parameters can configure a
specific service, retrieve the current status of a service, as well as stop
and start a service. You can create batch files that call various SC.exe
commands to automate the startup or shutdown sequence of services. SC.exe
provides capabilities similar to Services in the Administrative Tools item
in Control Panel.

------------------------------------

Thanks

           Phill.
