Hi
I'm trying to install DWT2 to create GUI applications with D.
I have downloaded DWT2 with TortoiseHg already and I've installed Ruby and Rake. But when I try to build the packages I get the following error message:

Is there anybody who can help me?
I believe it's possible to use DWT2 and Tango - isn't it?

Greetings Fabian

It's called DWT2 because it's a port of the existing DWT code to D2. Tango
is a replacement standard library for D1, so no, they can't really be used
together.
I'm not sure about the state of DWT1, but it should be fairly stable, even
if it hasn't been worked on recently.

As an overview, D1 originally had Phobos as the standard library, but it
wasn't that great, so an independent team built Tango as a replacement.
Tango hasn't ever officially shipped with DMD, the reference compiler, but
it's pretty much become the standard for D1 (with a few exceptions and
attempts to reconcile it with Phobos).
Nowadays, we have D2 and Phobos2 (which is generally just called Phobos).
There's an ongoing project to port Tango to D2 as well, and Druntime, the
runtime library, has been separated from Phobos2 to hopefully make Tango and
Phobos2 coexist if/when that D2 port is completed (back in D1, Phobos and
Tango both included their own runtimes, so you couldn't use both at the same
time). In the meantime, Phobos2 far better than Phobos1, and Andrei has been
leading its development.

"Learn to Tango with D" obviously refers to D1/Tango
"The D Programming Language" refers to D2/Phobos2

Hopefully that makes everything a bit clearer.

But I try to install DWT2. Do you understand?
I've got the Tango book but it's pretty difficult to install DWT2. So I can't build GUI apps.

Are you sure about that? I'm not really experienced with DWT, but the DWT2 repo has a bunch of commits that refer to D1 and Tango:

http://hg.dsource.org/projects/dwt2

And the readme at the bottom of this page seems to indicate it's both D2/Phobos2 and D1/Tango:

No, DWT2 is a strategy change to how DWT is structured. The change was to use the structure of SWT instead of renaming and moving everything. This was to make porting easier. It also combined dwt-linux, dwt-windows dwt-mac under one repository.

Fabian,

I think you should check that Tango is properly installed. From the repo:

The sc.ini/dmd.conf of the DMD in the PATH needs to have all necessary parameters to build a application with the std lib.

E.g. for Tango it can look like this:
[Environment]
LINKCMD=%@P%\link.exe
LIB="%@P%\..\..\..\..\tango\lib"
DFLAGS="-I%@P%\..\..\..\..\tango" -version=Tango -defaultlib=tango-base-dmd.lib -debuglib=tango-base-dmd.lib

Ah, apparently I am a font of misinformation. Now that I think about it, I do remember a discussion a while back about issues making D2 code remain compatible with D1 where DWT2 was brought up. Or at least I think I do. Sorry for the noise.

My sc.ini looks like this:

[Version]
version=7.51 Build 020

[Environment]
LIB="%@P%\..\lib";
LINKCMD=%@P%\link.exe
DFLAGS="-I%@P%\..\import" "-I%@P%\..\import\tango\core\vendor" -version=Tango -defaultlib=tango.lib -debuglib=tango.lib -L+tango.lib

I decided to use gtkD but I would be very glad if anybody is able to solve my problem.

I haven't tested to compile DWT with D1/Tango for a while so it might not be compiling, I'll look in to it.

DWT2 is supposed to work with D2/Phobos and D1/Tango, anything other is a bug. I haven't compiled DWT with D1/Tango for a while now so it might not compile.
