Hi,

I have downloaded and installed the compiler and the toolset for under MS Windows. I'm running MS Windows 2000.

When I run the all.sh shell script, I get the following error message in the dhrystones program:

"
dmd dhry
dhry.d(607): function std.c.string.strcpy (char*,char*) does not match parameter
 types (char[30],char[29])
dhry.d(607): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (Reg_Define) of type ch
ar[30] to char*

--- errorlevel 1"

I haven't taken the time to study the error; this is my first exposure to D.

I include the rest of the output so that you can see that the compiler worked and was correctly installed.

Pleace change in dhry.d line 607 from
#
# strcpy(Reg_Define, "Register option not selected.");
#

to

#
# strcpy(Reg_Define.ptr, "Register option not selected.");
#

This is due to stricter array-pointer conversion rules since DMD-0.177.
