I just realised yesterday that the libs bundled with dmd (curl.lib in my

in lib64?

that the new standard? Is there somewhere they should be sourced?

Can you also rename the libs in lib64/ to remove the '64' on the end?
That's pretty annoying in build script to have different lib names.

They never were there in the zip files, though the windows installer will 
download them.

They've had the 64 suffix for a year now. Why is it an issue now? It would also 
require changing the compiler and the scripts all at the last minute, and would 
presumably break peoples' existing scripts?

Ah, well wherever they come from, it's a problem that only one exists.

Because we're finally cleaning it all up, might as well finish the job.
The linux libs right next door aren't named separately. Consistency is nice.

Refer to Don's talk. Removing hacks in build scripts (or any code) is
usually met with rejoice :)

While we are at it:

std.complex vs complex literals?

Complex isn't deprecated yet... but it has been in the pipeline for a
few years now.

Also, asking for such changes really doesn't belong in the beta thread.

Yes, sorry about that.

Anyway, the bikeshed is still out there for painting.

As Walter said, curl is installed by the installer and isn't 
included with dmd. I'll try to find some time to make a new curl 
zip that includes a 64 bit curl.

Explains why it disappeared when unzipping the new build ;)
Cheers. That'd be tops.

You can test released betas with DVM:

Did you actually install DVM first?

$ dvm.exe install dvm

Your program crashes in an ugly way if the user didn't run some 
command first? IMO, well-built software should detect that 
situation and advise the user (or just run that command by itself 
after the user's confirmation).

Pull requests are welcome :) . BWT, it doesn't crash. It exists with an 
exception. I guess it depends on how you look at it.
