Hi,

i am wondering if there are any instructions how to build tango with dmd2 on windows? I mean, if i take a look at this: http://dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/WindowsInstall

"Automated Build and Install
This section is out of date.

Is there an installer at all?

Manually Build and Install
This is recommended for end users who are installing into an existing compiler, and for developers who wish to work on Tango itself.

This section is out of date.

???"

Doesn't look like this website is actually up to date?

I tried this:
https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2

But if i run:

bob.exe -vu .

i get:

"core.exception.AssertError@.\build\src\bob.d(491): FileFilter.exclude: Path does not exist: tango/sys/win32"

even though the path is in the same directory. Do i have to add an environment variable or something? If so, how should i name it so the compiler finds it?

Greets

Okay i now got a step further. If i type:
bob -vu C:\Users\Standardbenutzer\Downloads\Tango-D2-d2port

a huge list of files comes down such as:

dmd -c -IC:\Users\Standardbenutzer\Downloads\Tango-D2-d2port -release -ofngo-core-Array-release.obj C:/Users/Standardbenutzer/Downloads/Tango-D2-d2port/tango/core/Array.d

But at the end i get this:

If i take a look in the uninstd.d file it looks like the author already imported a file for these datatypes (line 14):
public import tango.stdc.posix.sys.types; // for size_t, ssize_t, uid_t, gid_t, off_t, pid_t, useconds_t

but it looks like it is still producing errors - why is that?

Okay i now have several ".obj" files in "Tango-D2-d2port\build\bin\win32" but how can i merge them to a library?
Anyone here who knows that?

All of dsource.org is outdated. It's a long dead site, maintained now only in read-only mode because it still has some stuff worth keeping around.

Seigelord's port to D2 has a dub.json file, so you should be able to do this:

cd Tango-D2-d2port
dub build

That should get your library.

 I remember trying to read through an in-depth manual to how to use Tango, and I felt it had an over-emphasis on templates without having/showing simple examples of how to use the libraries (or users not wanting to use templates). It eventually made me drop from trying to use any of the Tango library.

 Much like the Java documentation where I recall similar issues (but with java with some of the libraries I wanted to use, it was referencing abstract classes).

 Although it's been several years since I looked much into either of those very closely, and I can't recall exact examples to show what I mean.

Thanks for your answer. I tried that on my windows console and i got the error that the command 'dub' can't be found.

If i try:

'dub.json build' it just opens the dub.json file in my default .json program.

The only reason i want to use Tango is that i would like to read and send data from/to a serial COM port and i don't want to mess around with importing C libraries.
