digitalmars.D.ide - I've spent hours on this one (probably simple) link error

in Visual Basic Shell, for my import command:

the text editor has "string" colored blue. Blue is used to
signify types and reserved words.  Could Visual D be trying to
interpret the string package as the alias type string?

If so, is there a workaround?

thanks.

First, this has nothing to do with what Visual D thinks of the word 
"string" in your editor. It doesn't even have to do with the compile 
step. It's a link-time error (note the OPTLINK in the very first line). 
It means DMD is finding all of the imports fine and is compiling your 
project fine, but for one reason or another the linker is unable to find 
all the symbols it needs and therefore cannot link the executable. This 
sounds very much like a problem with your configuration. Whatever your 
original linker errors were, adding phobos.lib to the library list is 
*not* the solution. You should never have to do that.

For starters, make sure that you only have one version of DMD installed. 
If you have multiple versions, make sure that the version you used to 
compile Derelict and the version Visual D is configured to use are the 
same. Or, perhaps, if you recently changed to a different version, make 
sure you recompile Derelict (and all other third-party libraries) using 
that version. Otherwise, drop the phobos.lib from your lib list and come 
back here with your original errors and some info on how environment is 
set up.

Ok.  I decided to start fresh and be extrememly methodical. I 
went to
a new Windows 8.1 computer.

I wanted to create a portable D environment so I downloded and 
installed everything to a flash drive D:

I downloaded the Derelict3 .zip file from GitHub today and the 
2.0660.0 windows installer and ran it with all the defaults 
selected. So now I have D and Derelict side by side.

D:\>dir
  Volume in drive D is CENTON USB
  Volume Serial Number is 33EA-F132

  Directory of D:\

07/16/2014  03:15 PM    <DIR>          Derelict3-master
10/11/2014  01:49 PM    <DIR>          D

                2 Dir(s)   1,881,473,024 bytes free


I then followed the instructrions on GitHub like so:

So now I can't even build Derelict3.  I'm starting to feel like a 
total failure :)

The problem is that you're using Derelict3. I put at the very top of the 
README that Derelict3 is no longer maintained. I left the repository 
there for those maintaining older projects or whatnot. I haven't even 
attempted to build it in ages. I just did so now and encountered the 
same errors. It no longer works with the latest DMD and I will not be 
updating it. It's a dead project.

You were using the DerelictOrg stuff before. Why did you switch?

Not intentionally, I assure you. I've been using DerelictGL3 and 
DerelictGLFW3 with my project called openGL_3_3, and my mind 
started associating 3 with the latest and greatest; hence 
Derelict3.

With DerelictOrg, I got everything compiled and linked within 
Visual D.

Haha. I'm sure you're not the first. I really want to just nuke the 
Derelict3 repo completely, but I don't think I should just yet.

Good news!
