I installed the DMD32 D Compiler v2.063.2 into C:\

I try to complie and test the dserver.d sample specifically, but
when I run build.bat in the dmd2\samples\d directory, I've got
the following errors.

C:\D\dmd2\samples\d>..\..\windows\bin\shell all.sh
shell 1.05
..\..\windows\bin\dmd d2html
d2html.d(38): Error: undefined identifier whitespace
d2html.d(45): Error: undefined identifier letters
d2html.d(51): Error: undefined identifier digits
d2html.d(57): Error: undefined identifier hexdigits
d2html.d(63): Error: undefined identifier octdigits

--- errorlevel 1


What did I do wrong? What could be missing?

you are running .sh script instead of .bat on windows. and looks like this samples a bit outdated, though d2html looks fine.

Thank you for the answer.

This is the contents of the build.bat, which is shipped with the D instalation:

..\..\windows\bin\shell all.sh

Can you tell me, what is outdated?

pi sample at least has compile errors.

...All the samples I use are shipped with the DMD32 D Compiler v2.063.2 instalation package for Windows. I've just reinstalled D to make sure that.

no, i mean its not get updated to fetch with phobos changes. though it should be simple to fix.

Is this simple enough to explain me what I need to do? I'm new to the D language.

do you really need that pi exapmle? i see it's the only exapmle which fails to build, others works fine.

I badly need to build a working COM server, so I can extend the already existing and mature VB6 project. In time I'd like to migrate into D entirely, this will be a just a small first step.

This reminded me to come back to this (I was commenting on stack overflow a few days ago too). Spun up an XP box and now I can reproduce your problem.

Strangely, the same exe and dll work on Vista computer still! But at least I can see the problem on XP so maybe I can help figure this out now....
