Hi, here is a Windows installation for the D compiler version 0.91 : http://noirotm.free.fr/soft/dmd-0.91-setup.exe - includes all the dm tools from the dmc and dmd official distributions - optionally updates the path so dmd is available from anywhere from within the command prompt - optionally associates .D files with the compiler so double-clicking on a D file will have it compiled Hope you will enjoy, any comment will be appreciated :) Marc

I wonder if many people really do want it associated with the compiler rather than an editor. A further idea might be to create two actions, Open and Compile, letting the user choose an editor to open it in.

Yup, i totally agree, the only issue being that everyone will want to associate D files with <Insert your favorite text editor here> so the only safe choice would be notepad... yuk

just that even though notepad is the only text editor i can be sure to find on a Windows platform, noone uses it to develop, so i don't see the point to associate it with .d files. Btw, if anyone knows a nice free editor designed to work with D, i can eventually add it to my installation. - Marc

Sorry with all these posts being made lately, I have only just noticed your reply. I started learning Java with notepad, and was having fun, because I am only a hobby programmer I never bothered trying anything else. Then a few years later I tried Forte, and discovered that you have less control over things, than if you were to use notepad(or some other basic thing). I didnt like having to go through the code and change things(like variable names and method names and other stuff). Also I couldnt be bothered trying to learn all of the features in Forte, to make it worth while using it. I havent tried anything else beside Forte(that I can remember anyway) Besides that, I beleive that I learnt more using notepad then I would have using Forte(or some other point and click aparatus). Ah and another annoying thing I remember about Forte is that it is so damn slow, that it is frustrating. For D, I use DIDE . Phill.

That's why I suggested giving the user an opportunity to choose an editor during the installation process. What did you think I said/meant?

This looks like you are distributing the dmd compiler... If that is correct, do you have a licence that allows you to do that? I thought the licence coming with dmd explicitly forbade that. Bastiaan.

Well Charles is already doing that with DIDE (although he probably asked for permission). I'm sure Walter would be more then happy to allow the files to be used in such a way. -- -Anderson: http://badmama.com.au/~anderson/

Lots of comments to answer to :) Well, I didn't really intend to _redistribute_ the compiler, i just proposed an example of a convenient way to install it, and only proposed a download here, the official D site, for testing purposes. In the end, it would only be proposed here... Ok, so to make everyone happy, I officially ask Walter to grant me the permission to maintain the installer and propose it to be downloaded from this forum. :) The download is down while I don't have the explicit right to do so ;) I created the installer at first to help me installing dmd on my several machines, some of them being offline, and to avoid having all the dm, dmc, and dmd folders at the root of the partition. DIDE distributes the D compiler too, but doesn't give the choice where to install it, only at C:\dmd, I think it would be perfect if it was installed on the same partition as the IDE. By the way, I wonder if it's a bug, or an intended feature that the compiler doesn't work if the top folder is not located at the root (eg. C:\Program Files\dmd\ ) The "download from installation" feature is a good idea too, for online people and those who want a really easy update process, and not hard to implement with Inno Setup (also used for DIDE installation) But, as far as I just discovered DIDE today, I now think it's up to them to distribute an updated version of all of this... having a full development envirnonment can only be useful for D.

If that's true, you can probably fool it by telling it the path is C:\PROGRA~1\dmd. Arcane Jill

I think it would be better if the program downloaded dmd directly from the website. That way you wouldn't need to keep updating it all the time. -- -Anderson: http://badmama.com.au/~anderson/

As an alternative version. Having DMD bundled is handy for people whose Internet connection and D programming environment are in separate places.

That it is. I'm just afraid that it would be wouldn't be maintained, although I'd still recommend both versions. Another advantage of the download version is that you could use it as an automatic updater. -- -Anderson: http://badmama.com.au/~anderson/

A further idea would be a way to automatically compile and run a user-defined set of unit tests on updating. This would help to see which bugs are still there. OK, so the change log lists fixes, but sometimes it's nice to actually see it working for a change and/or check that a purported fix is 'finished'. Not to mention check for regressions, if they're ever likely to happen....

That's really not a good idea. A proper build system is always preferable, even if you write a Ruby script to "intelligently" generate the make scripts for it.Hope you will enjoy, any comment will be appreciated :) Marc
