digitalmars.D - linker problem

reply Bruno Rahle <brahle gmail.com> writes:
Hello! 
I have started using D today and I have a linker problem. I've downloaded it
from http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html and unzipped it in folder
"C:\brahle\jezici\D\". However, when I try to compile something, this is what I
get: 

"c:\brahle\jezici\D\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe" sieve,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
Can't run '"c:\brahle\jezici\D\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe"', check PATH

It seems that compiler is unable to reach the linker, although when I write the
line directly into cmd, it runs ok. 
Can someone please help me?

Did you also download DMC? It is the C/C++ compiler. The linker comes with it. 
What is the output of link? Maybe you have another one in your path.

Yes, I also downloaded the DMC. That's all I get as the otuput. And it's the
only one in the path.

When you type:
c:\brahle\jezici\D\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe

into cmd it runs ok?

Those first 2 directories, do they contain any non-ascii characters? 
Try renaming them A and B and see what happens.

I assume you extracted DMC to the same path as DMD.

You should have:
C:\brahle\jezici\D\dmd
C:\brahle\jezici\D\dm

That allows this:
c:\brahle\jezici\D\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe

to resolve to:
c:\brahle\jezici\D\dm\bin\link.exe

I assume that exe exists.
