Hi all,
  Sorry for what may seem like a simple and obvious question to most DWT users.  First I would like to say that I have absolutely no experience with SWT in any form.  Second I know nothing of Eclipse other than that is what happens when the moon is directly between the earth and the sun.  I would like to know in a few simple steps or examples how to build a hello world or some other trivial GUI application with DWT.  Following the instructions I was able to build the Snippets but that does not really tell you how to start a DWT project from scratch.  I would really like to get some steps on how to start a DWT project from a project folder somewhere and compile it.  So far the snippets show off the abilities of the library but they are not a tutorial and don't help us noobs.  The snippets would be good if they had HOW to comments or other documentation that explains how to get this done.  Also it would be nice if someone could share a typical directory layout of their DWT programming environment and what tools(aka IDE) they use.  I am finding this whole DWT thing to be a really daunting task without some kind of tutoring.  I have found DWT to be really hard to get started with.  I do like the fact that one can make a single executable that can be copied and executed without the need to install a huge API or additional baggage files before the executable will run.

Hello World using DWT would look something like this:

module main;

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

void main ()
{
    auto display = new Display;
    auto shell = new Shell;
    shell.open();

    while (!shell.isDisposed)
        if (!display.readAndDispatch())
            display.sleep();

    display.dispose();
}

I would recommend compiling it with rdmd (supplied with dmd) :

rdmd main.d -I/path/to/dwt

For learning how to use DWT I would recommend all the tutorials out there for SWT. They are similar enough making it easy to port for SWT (Java) code to DWT (D).

Thanks Jacob for the response but that did not work :-(  Below is what I get when I compile your hello world example above.

If you have cloned the git repository into C:\GITClones\dwt you should compile it like this:

rdmd hello.d -IC:\GITClones\dwt\org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86\src -IC:\GITClones\dwt\base\src

Also make sure you cloned the repository using "git clone --recursive". This will clone the submodules as well.

yeah that did not work for me either.  As you can see below it is the same as before.

The Display.d is at C:\GITClones\dwt\org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86\src\org\eclipse\swt\widgets on my windows box.

All I know is that the snippets do compile so I am very confused as to why this will not.  GIT does not work directly here at work.  The company I work for uses a proxy server so I had to put it through a NTLMaps program to handle the companies proxy authentication.  So when I tried to use recursive that did not work because to make it work I had to use HTTP: instead of GIT: on the url but the sub-modules tried to use GIT: as the protocol in the URL.  I then cloned the sub-modules individually so that I could get the snippets to compile which I did and most of them compiled.  The only ones that did not compile are those looking for the Browser.d file and that use some lib called derelict whatever that is.
Honestly I see GIT to be a big stumbling block for those of us that just want to use your wares.  If I was contributing then sure I can see where GIT would help but all I want to do is download a and use the library for now.  Anyway I appreciate your help but I may need to use some other widget toolkit if I can find one.  However right now the only real toolkit that comes close to my requirements is DWT but if I cannot get it to compile code outside it's development folders I don't think it will be of much practical use to me.

My Widget Tool Kit Needs:
Executable File size no larger than 5MB (minus resource/baggage files) would like less than 1MB if possible.
Must compile and run everywhere DMD does (mainly Windows & Linux).
Is self contained in a file or 2 and does not need a separate install package.
Can be copied to a directory and run with out modifying OS configurations or touching other files that are not part of the application.
Must look like or be native interface.
Must have a DateTime, Treeview, and Table/Grid widgets.  These don't need data binding but that would be nice.
Would like to have drag-n-drop plus clipboard support as appropriate for the OS.

As you can see above most of these needs can be accomplished by DWT which is evident by the snippets but I just need to be able to compile from everywhere.  Maybe it is my configuration here.  If I get a chance when I get home tonight I will try to compile this on my Linux box and let you know.  I have a virtual XP machine I can try as well.  I will let you know and again thanks for your help and patients.

Oh, I know what the problem is now. You need to pass the -I flags before the hello.d file.

RDMD works like this: all flags passed before the D file will be passed to the compiler. All flags passed after the D file will be passed to the compiled application when it's run.

All projects on Github have a link to a zip download, for DWT it's: https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt/archive/master.zip

I have no idea if that will include the submodules or not.

Ideally we will one day have a package manager for D making this much easier.

You can also pass --build-only if you don't want to run the resulting binary.

BTW I got git to work with NTLMaps also there is a separate zip file for each module no issue.  Sorry I did not get a chance to try this on my Linux box yesterday.  BTW I did copy the hello.d file over to the snippets folder and used the same command line that compiles regular snippets to compile this and it worked just fine.  So basically I put hello.d in the C:\GITClones\dwt\org.eclipse.swt.snippets\src\org\eclipse\swt\snippets and used the following command to compile it rdmd build swtsnippets[hello] from the C:\GITClones\dwt directory.  This built a executable called Swthello.exe in C:\GITClones\dwt\bin directory.  So I know the code compiles and runs without issue.  I just don't know the magic that build.d is performing so that I can replicate it outside the dwt directory structures.  I read through build.d and it seems kind of over complicating but I guess the complexity is obviously needed because I can't seem to get it to compile any other way.  The rsp file that build.d uses has 30 lines that it sends to dmd.  Poor dmd... ;)  Oh well maybe will just need more time working with dmd and it's toolset before I take on something this big.  Rome wasn't built in a day but then again the Romans did not have D with build.d either.

Forgot about the -J flag. Add:

-JC:\GITClones\dwt\org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86\res

To the result of the flags (before hello.d).

It looks to be unable to find the static libs now.  How do people use this library?  Do they work in the dwt folder and just use that build.d file to compile with?  Again I would like to know the layout of a typical programmers workstation that uses DWT for the GUI parts of their application?  Is anyone using DWT today?
I appreciate all your help Jacob but I didn't think it would be this hard or take this long just to build and compile a program that just shows a window.  Has anyone ever tried to install D and DWT on a virgin machine then start a clean project to build a simple application like this before?  Maybe there is something I need to add to my PATH environment variable or something like that which would make this easier?  The command line is longer than the code I am trying to compile at this point.
