I have started learning D a few days ago, and I absolutely love it!

However text editors do not satisfy me when writing code - I want to have an IDE with code completion.

So I downloaded mono developed, which seems really good. I configured dmd and everything works ok. I can build a project, run it, and even use some C functions inside D.

However, the above work only in Release Mode! In Debug Mode I get an error message that tells me nothing!

First, let me show you my code:

[code]
extern (C) int factorial(int); // in factorial.obj

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
	writeln(factorial(10));
}
[/code]

Note that the above works in release mode.
When trying to compile in debug mode, I get:

Error: Build failed - check build output for details (D_Test)

In the obj/debug folder that mono develop creates, I can see the file main.obj but there is no executable in bin/debug! Does this have something to do with linking?

Thank you in advance.

Could you send that build log then, please? There's a button next to the filter buttons in the build log panel in MonoDevelop, just click on it, and the build log gets visible :)

Hi Alex - you are the developer of this plugin right? I came by
your website today and posted a comment there as well :)

Anyway, here's the log:

Could you build it again with release configuration and send me the build log again? So I'll be able to compare what's missing then
