Hello all!

Well version 1 of the D IDE is almost ready, I'd like to add auto-indent, some help files for dig (html help compiler), and some basic auto-complete before I call it version 1.  Though its pretty useable now so download it and let me know any bugs you find please!

I also don't have a place to put it.  Right now its up at sourceforge at a no longer active project

http://wxcode.sf.net/setup.zip

do you think I could put this up at opend.org ?

Also I think we should have a repository for user libraries, and maybe even a CPAN like program for D.  Ideally I'd like to integrate it into the IDE, so you can see what libraries are available and automate the download / install process.  Lots of good programmers on this newsgroup so I'm sure we can come up with something!

I'd also really like to bundle the compiler and dig with the IDE, I noticed something about not bundling or re-distrubuting, but I think if users had to download just one setup program then users would be much more likely to start using it.  I wouldn't be charging for it or modifying anything, just bundling it for easier use.  If you like I can show you a package of what I had in mind and you can decide ?

And lastly D rocks!  I love DIG and am real impressed, good work guys!  (In version 3 of DIDE I hope to get a dialog editor for DIG)

Arghh... stuck at work! I've been dying to give this a shot ever since you teased us with those nice looking screenshots.

Yes, I like this idea a lot. If people only had to install one piece of software to get a fully usable environment for writing and compiling D code, this could really speed acceptance. I can think of a lot of situations where (mostly in Linux) libraries or other software is needed to install a program, and sometimes this can be a deal breaker for using that software, D and DIG are easy enough to install that this isn't really too big of a problem, but down the road who knows. I don't know about the licensing issues involved, and I would like everybody's work to be protected, but it would be very convenient to have everything in one nice little package.

I also suggest, that if bundling is for some reason impossible, than maybe DIDE could have a menu option somewhere that would download and install the latest compiler version. That would be pretty rad. (Not to tell you how to write your software or anything) The same could be said for DIG or any other libraries if a CPAN-like archive was set up. In fact, the whole idea of the IDE being able to query a big archive for libraries is awesome.

Looks like a great program.  I'm afraid I can't get it to compile any programs though.  I'm running Windows ME and using DMD v0.68.

I create a new project on the basic template.  Then I select Project/Compile.  A message box declares "Error compiling the project!"

Here's some information that might give you a clue of what my problem is:

Install Path: C:\Program Files\DIDE
DMD/BIN Path: C:\dmd\bin
DIG Path:     C:\dmd\src\dig

Something else that occurred to me...
I think that the DMD and DIG paths should be configuration options within the program.  Most users would prefer avoiding REGEDIT for changing these paths (not that I can't find
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DIDE).

I've also got a feature request.  I personally don't like to store program data (such as source code) in Program Files.  It'd be great if you could include an option to create projects in a user-defined path on a separate drive from where DIDE is installed.  But I'd still use this program even without this option.

Thanks for developing this program.  It's another great asset for the D community.

P.S. I'm hoping some of those tips of the day are just place-holders. Some of them sound a lot more like tag lines than tips of the day.

Very cool.  What's it made with?

Sweet maybe we can organize a group and set it up.  I'll add plans to add the upgrade of the compiler and dig.  If i could convice Walter and Burton to have a simple text file on their servers containing the current version it would make it alot easier :).

C++ and MFC, using the toolkit at www.codejock.com.  They have some great components (XTToolkit) and if you can find it on sale its only $200 bucks.

Ok great, I have added those configuration options under the Global Settings menu and uploaded the new file.  Also did you get that email I sent about the bug ?

Thanks,

Not sure just what you need?
