Hi,

I would like to learn GLFW on Windows 10 with VisualD, but I don't know much about Visual Studio. I installed DMD 2.070.0 with Visual Studio Community 2013 and dub. Following the instructions here [http://derelictorg.github.io/compiling.html], I compiled DerelictGLFW3 and DerelictUtil. I put the resulting lib files into a libs\ folder in my project directory, and added that folder into the "Additional Import Paths" field in Solution properties > Configuration Properties > Compiler > General. I also added it into Configuration Properties > Linker > General > Library Search Path. But when trying to build the project, I get "Error	1	Error: module glfw3 is in file 'derelict\glfw3\glfw3.d' which cannot be read	C:\Users\username\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\ConsoleApp1\ConsoleApp1\main.d	1"

The code so far is only :

import derelict.glfw3.glfw3;

int main(string[] argv) {
	DerelictGLFW3.load();
	return 0;
}

I don't know how to proceed. Is there a tutorial for this somewhere ? Please could you help me ? Thank you

Since this is complaining about the .d file, this must be a compile error.  So we can take  the Library Search Paths out of the equation.  I would take the Search path you used and append it to you import path and double check that it points to were your glfw3.d resides.

For instance, in my project in the Compiler>General>Additional imports I have:

N:\DUB_Packages\DerelictOrg\DerelictGLFW3\source

And in my D project I have:

import derelict.glfw3.glfw3;

So now, When I navigate to the full path,

N:\DUB_Packages\DerelictOrg\DerelictGLFW3\source\derelict\glfw3

I see that there is indeed a file present named: glfw3.d

Note: I made one of the cardinal sins of programming by using a hard coded N:\... absolute path.  But I wanted to keep things real simple.

If that fails, a really kludgy solution, might be to simply move a copy of glfw3.d to you home directory.  But that would only be if you want a quick a very dirty band aid.  If a school project is due the next day :)
