Hello,

i try to intall Code::Blocks under Windows because i want work with ddbg. The ddbg work an a Console but i didn't understand the usage from the command line. I can't find any example, anyway.

I get the error message:

dmd.exe -g  -IC:\dd\dmd\src\phobos -IC:\dd  -c C:\dd\hello.d -ofC:\dd\hello.obj
link.exe C:\dd\hello.exe  C:\dd\hello.obj phobos.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1

C:\dd\hello.exe
 Error 2: File Not Found C:\dd\hello.exe
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings


The compiler works, only the linker make problems.

My Path:
PATH=C:\dd\dmd\bin;C:\dd\dm\bin  and more...

Linker Settings: phobos.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib

Search Directory für Compiler: C:\dd\dmd\src\phobos
Search Directory for Linker C:\dd\dmd\lib  and C:\dd\dmd\dm
Toolchain executables -> Linker for dynymic libs  : link.exe

Compilers installition directory: c:\dd\dmd

Version svn 4145


Thanks

Although I'm not sure what it *should* be, I'm fairly certain that your link.exe arguments are completely wrong.  Whatever is creating that command line is screwing up something awful.

I haven't used Code::Blocks in a while, however what I can remember was this:

1) You set the linker command to be dmd.exe, not link.exe.  dmd will
call link.exe to link everything together.
2) You may need to fiddle with the exact command line settings to get it
to work.

For instance, the link command for the above should be:

dmd -ofC:\dd\hello.exe C:\dd\hello.obj kernel32.lib user32.lib

Hope that helps.

I change the link.exe to dmd.exe.
Thank you very much.

damn, some inner voice told me that it wasn't a good idea to remove that example from the docs ;)
so here is the old example again. i hope you can find out everything beyond that from the help and the docs. i'll improve them sometime soon.

you don't need to call the linker separately unless you really know why. all you need to do is:
cd c:\dd
dmd -g hello.d

There was a GUI frontend project for ddbg called Flower... unfortunately it appears to be abandoned.  If anyone has a copy and is willing to share, you might find it useful at least at first.
