from all his posts to the NG it's evident that he's not a polite person, and does not appreciate the work being done by the community and made available free of charge. there's a saying - "Never look a gift horse in the mouth", which comes to mind. if he didn't understand something, there's a proper way to ask questions without insulting the people who worked hard to provide the software he uses free of charge. anyway, if he'll continue to pollute the environment and this NG, I'll just add a filter to my newsreader. It takes less than a minute and it really is time well spent. I suggest you do the same. -- Yigal

There is nowhere I have found that lists down what the completed file structur should look like for dsss dmd or dwt. I am using Tango and I would like to compare my file structure to the official one . Thats extra maintenance I suppose but surely this could be automated.

What's a "completed file structur"? Perhaps if you posted what your "completed file structur" is, someone might give a suggestion of whether it looks right or whether it could be improved.Thats extra maintenance I suppose but surely this could be automated.
Perhaps you would offer to write a program to automate this documentation.

Pro'ly not. I've never tried it. I use Omea from jetbrains and It seems to have good filtering (I just set it up to ignore Ty so well see how good it is) and also does a better job of archiving posts for offline viewing.

This one probably should go into dwt but should be here as well as it relates to the rebuild default action when the config file is changed I attempted to dsss build the latest dwt-samples-200a229be5ca If something is wrong the compiler jumps out at that point , so a segment fault or compiler error stops compilation of all of the other files in the configuration file. OK now thats not good if you have problems and this one did have . So I # out the completed compiled files in dsss.conf and run it again. It tells me that it is deleting files and lists all the files that it realy hasn;t got to yet so they are not compiled. It tells me it is deleting them anyway....inaccurate and silly So that hasn't done me any time damage so on I go that way for about 4 more goes to get what will compile done so I can have a look at them. Now what I really want to pass on to someone ,perhaps a new looker, is the following will not compile so don't expect them to if you are on Linux dwtsnippets/opengl dwtsnippets/program dwtsnippets/tray dwtexamples/clipboard dwtexamples/controlexample dwtexamples/texteditor user/dragdrop Cheezy grins

For C, see below. "alignment" is not a specifier in itself in any way, it is the number seen behind a comma in some of the examples; so what do you mean with it not being recognized?Your lookers should not have to go delving to find out why, it needs to just work.
We appreciate tickets posted at http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/newticket[tytower linuxbox text]$ formatspec I have {unknown format 'C'} in cash. Avogadro's number is 6.02e+23. Avogadro's number (with alignment) is 6.02e+23. This is the example program which also appears in the tango book
You need to point me to where this can be found in the book, in which case it will be listed in the errata./** Example showing how to use format specifier components in a format string's argument. Put into public domain by Lars Ivar Igesund */ import tango.io.Stdout; void main(){ double avogadros = 6.0221415e23; Stdout.formatln("I have {0:C} in cash.", 100); Stdout.formatln("Avogadro's number is {0:E}.", avogadros); Stdout.formatln("Avogadro's number (with alignment) is {0,4:E}.", avogadros); }
Thanks, this example is indeed in error. Currently C is only available as a specifier if you have a Locale enabled (as you can read in the book). The E specifier does appear to not work properly under Locale though. -- Lars Ivar Igesund blog at http://larsivi.net DSource, #d.tango & #D: larsivi Dancing the Tango

I wanted to do the install process again because it is such a mess I also wanted to write a guide for Linux users . Now hereś the rub . Dsss requires dmd installed first. So I go to get dmd 1.028 dmd 1.028 and all prior do not have an install instruction file in them so stupidly they dont associate the install instructions with each distribution Now this means whatever install instructions you see on the web site are for the current distro only. So if you have downloaded the 5Meg file previously , you now can use it because the installation instructions may be wrong . You have to download it again ! Clots
Mar 17 2008
And this is what you get when you follow their instructions . This is what got to me in the first place . I remember the frustration . Where the F# ! is std/file.d [root localhost dsss-0.75]# make -f Makefile.dmd.posix cp -f rebuild/defaults/dmd-posix rebuild/rebuild.conf/default ./rebuild/rebuild -full -Irebuild sss/main.d -ofdsss sss/main.d(31): module file cannot read file 'std/file.d' make: *** [dsss] Error 1 [root localhost dsss-0.75]#

Reply to tytower, The install process for DMD hasn't changed in so long the original could well have be written in stone and stored in the Ark. OTOH look for /dmd/html/d/dcompiler.html in dmd.zip

Well here we go again. Whoever writes the installation notes for dsss and dmd should initially suggest to new users to put the directories in their $HOME directory . I see now that following the given instructions means you have some permission problems getting to object.d. That causes errors in the compiles and the messages are cryptic from both of these programs. New lookers without some prior dmd and dsss experience will find the compiler output nearly indecipherable.

DMD comes with samples - one in particular won't compile This is the error d2html.d(335): Error: identifier 'ReadError' is not defined d2html.d(335): Error: ReadError is used as a type and this the offending program piece } // if end of file is reached and we try to read something // with typed read(), a ReadError is thrown; in our case, // this means that job is successfully done catch (ReadError e) { Dunno at this stage where ReadError comes from Now looking at the English above what do they mean "with typed read() Should that be "with type read()"........"with a keyboard entry"......"with method read()"......."with function read()" .........God knows

A little more on the examples All of the COM examples ,chello.d,dclient.d,dserver.d don't compile along with winsamp.d. The reason given is /home/tytower/dmd/bin/../src/phobos/std/c/windows/windows.d(12): static assert is false Now I see a batch file leading to a script file for all in Windows but no Dsss.conf file for us Linux dumbos. I suppose these need special treatment or libraries.
