I can't seem to get Descent to compile my D programs in eclipse 3.4.2.

I get the error: 'Could not detect versions.' in thr Console view.

Hi Joel,

What happens if you try to compile from the command line? It might be a problem of the setup of the compiler you are using.

Searching in google "DMD could not detect versions" I found these:

"Usually when I see the "Could not detect versions" message when using DSSS's rebuild, I can fix it by adding the directory with dmd.exe to the path. (I don't understand why it's such a cryptic error message though.)"

So there's a big chance you are using DSSS. :)

Well, if that's not the case let me know.

Thanks that improved the situation. I /was/ using rebuild, but I was only following the instructions from the Descent dsource page.

But now I get nothing, or 'Launching Jake has encounted a problem. Variable references empty selection: ${project_loc}' I've also got a list of undefines at one point.

When running the external tool make sure the project you want to build is selected.
