This doesn't work:

$ git clone --recursive git://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt.git

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt.git

(cf. https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt)

If I just download the master or clone without `--recursive`, files are missing and I cannot compile it.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

What errors to you get? This should work unless you have a really old version of Git. Seems like the --recursive flag was added in Git 1.6.5 [1].

The download doesn't contain submodules. If you clone without "--recursive" you can to run "git submodule update --init" after you have cloned the project.

The error messages are below. If I do it step by step (without --recursive) and then "git submodule update --init", I get more or less the same error:

Cloning into 'base'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:

I use `git 2.5.0`

There's always something with github, isn't there?

Looks like your firewall is blocking the git protocol.

Checkout dwt without --recursive

Modify the .gitmodules file so that https:// urls are used instead of git

Run the git submodule update --init

Updated to use HTTPS for the submodules.

Thanks! It worked for me now, both cloning and building. I'm looking forward to testing it.

For the record, on my Linux (Ubuntu 15), I had to tweak the command for the example:

dmd main.d -I<dwt>/imp -J<dwt>/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86/res -L-L<dwt>/lib \
  -L-l:org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86.a \
  -L-l:dwt-base.a -L-lgtk-x11-2.0 -L-lgdk-x11-2.0 -L-latk-1.0 -L-lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 \
  -L-lgthread-2.0 -L-lpangocairo-1.0 -L-lfontconfig -L-lXtst -L-lXext -L-lXrender \
  -L-lXinerama -L-lXi -L-lXrandr -L-lXcursor -L-lXcomposite -L-lXdamage -L-lX11 \
  -L-lXfixes -L-lpango-1.0 -L-lgobject-2.0 -L-lgmodule-2.0 -L-lgnomevfs-2 -L-ldl -L-lglib-2.0 \
  -L-lcairo -L-lgnomeui-2

I had to add ".a" to `-L-l:dwt-base` and `-L-l:org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86`, and add `-L-lgnomevfs-2` as well.

I added `-L-lgnomevfs-2 to the example. I need to look into way the ".a" was needed.

Yeah, it's strange alright. I was surprised that I had to add it.
