D - DIDE won't compile test project

reply John Reimer <jjreimer telus.net> writes:
I have the most up to date DIDE (0.97a, I believe).  When I make a 
sample project (DIG project, hello world), the project refuses to 
compile.  The compiler window states "Error: unrecognized switch '-o' " 
and stops.  The compiler line appears something like this:

c:\dmd\bin\dmd.exe -release -unittest -o -version=WindowsXP C:\blah\blah

The DMD compiler does not appear to have an -o option.  Why is it 
included here?  It's messing up the compile.

Hope this can be fixed!

-o is to tell DMD what executable to create, i think when digc recognizes
its on a winxp machine it adds teh version info automaticaly, I will fix it

The DMD 0.69 compiler no longer has a -o switch. It's been replaced by
two or three (or four?) new switched. Check the D changelog for
details.

That was what I noticed too. I couldn't find the -o option in the compiler options log, so I was wondering why DIDE included it. I didn't realize that the option had been in earlier versions. Later, John
