I'm trying to get my v0.97 D compiler configured properly.  I've placed the "dm" and "dmd" folders in my path, and I can call "dmd.exe" without problems.  I have not altered the paths within the "dmd" folder, nor have I altered sc.ini.  When I try to compile the sample programs, I get an error message:

	Error: Error reading file 'object.d'

My *unaltered* sc.ini looks like this:

	[Version]
	version=7.51 Build 020

	[Environment]
	LIB="%@P%\..\lib";\dm\lib
	DFLAGS="-I%@P%\..\src\phobos"
	LINKCMD=%@P%\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe

If I copy object.d to the "samples\d" folder I can compile the sample programs without errors.  I'd appreciate some advice on correctly configuring the compiler so it can find "object.d" in the normal path, "..\src\phobos", as specified in sc.ini.

Regards,
Garett

You need to place the dmd/bin folder in your path, nothing else eg.
I installed to d:\d\dmd and d:\d\dm and my path setting includes d:\d\dmd\bin

In the sc.ini below DFLAGS is used to locate object.d, I believe %@P% is replaced by the path in which sc.ini exists (not 100% sure), so in my case "d:\d\dmd\bin", meaning object.d should be in:
  d:\d\dmd\bin\..\src\phobos"

which it is for me.

Thanks to Regan Heath for the speedy reply.  It turns out my problem was the path I had placed the "dmd" folder under, within a directory named "Digital Mars".  Apparently the include flag doesn't like paths with embedded spaces. Changing to a path with no spaces, ie. "Digital_Mars", solved my problem. Placing "dmd" in a drive's root path conflicts with my personal sense of order.
