I have need to use this (thanks Martin, Nick, Regan and Walter!) to set ENOENT. My problem is that ENOENT is not defined.

Any ideas on how we can do this? The obvious thing is declare it for both Windows and Linux. Naturally it'd need to be version'd, but other than that, can anyone see any problems?

Since setErrno is in std.c.stdlib, that's probably where it should go.

Indeed.

You don't see any other issues?

My main issue is why do you need to set errno under Win32?

As it turns out, I don't any more. But I'm quite sure I will at some point.
