Hello. Recently I've installed Windows XP and I want to get my D project to work for it. I downloaded dmd and dmc (though does dmd come with dmc?) and I've copied them to the root C: directory. I want to use dmd and makefiles to make my program. How do I get it so I can open a command promt, type dmd, and it will show the program information. Right now it just says "dmd is not a program" Also, are the makefiles in windows any different from the ones in linux? Do you link dll's by using 'dmd program.d -L opengl -L sdl' I also need a good text editor with syntax highlighting. Any ideas? Thanks.

I downloaded dmd and dmc (though does dmd come with dmc?) and I've copied them to the root C: directory.You did right, just a tip: copy dmc first, then dmd and answer "Yes to all" to the prompt on overwrites. You probably did that anyhow.I want to use dmd and makefiles to make my program. How do I get it so I can open a command promt, type dmd, and it will show the program information. Right now it just says "dmd is not a program"Get ready, this is going to be fun. :) 1 - First, right-click the "My Computer" icon, in any of its many homes (desktop, start menu, sometimes even Quick Launch bar). 2 - Select the "Properties" item to bring up the "System Properties" dialog. 3 - Select the "Advanced" tab. 4 - Near the bottom is a button labeled "Environment Variables". You guessed it, click that. 5 - You now have two choices, a list of "User variables for $yourname" and a list of "System variables". Under "System variables" there should be one named "Path". Select that, and hit the "Edit" button under the list. 6 - In the resulting "Edit System Variable" dialog, add the following text to the end of the "Variable value" textfield: ;C:\dm\bin;C:\dmd\bin 7 - Now press "OK" buttons like a mad man! Don't worry, there shouldn't be any of those evil "Are you sure?" dialogs. *shiver* And that should do it. <usen:sarcasm>Gee, wasn't that intuitive?</usen:sarcasm>Also, are the makefiles in windows any different from the ones in linux? Do you link dll's by using 'dmd program.d -L opengl -L sdl'I believe it will be the same, but presumably with no space after -L though I can't be 100% sure... I've yet to link in a DLL with D.I also need a good text editor with syntax highlighting. Any ideas? Thanks.I'm fond of EditPlus, myself... http://www.editplus.com/ I don't recommend the D syntax available on their site though... Its outdated and just... odd. To me anyway. My own more-up-to-date one is floating around the NG somewhere and has probably propagated to the Wiki... I know the last one did. I'd put it there myself, but I've never gotten the hang of that Wiki thing. -Chris S. -Invironz
