The documentation at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html#Win32 currently mentions both DMD and DMC as requirements, but DMC by default, unzips into \dm and DMD by default unzips into both \dm and \dmd so I was wondering if this may perhaps be the cause of some of the problems I've had. Does anyone know whether the files included in the \dm folder that's included in dmd.zip are better or worse (or identical) for use with the D language than the files by the same names that are included in the dmc.zip file? Also, does anyone know wwhether or not any of the other files in dmc.zip (that don't come in dmd.zip) are needed for the DMD compiler to work correctly? One more thing... can anyone tell me which settings need to be changed as part of the DMD installation for the DMD compiler and linker to work correctly on a system that isn't set up the way the default installation expects it to be? I would appreciate any attempts at providing helpful information in regard to these questions. Thanks. TZ I

Files in dmc.zip, specifically the linker, are needed. I always check the mtimes. Just sc.ini and the path, really. I have DMD installed in D:\Program Files\Digital Mars. I had to use D:\PROGRA~1\DIGITA~1, though. -[Unknown]The documentation at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html#Win32 currently mentions both DMD and DMC as requirements, but DMC by default, unzips into \dm and DMD by default unzips into both \dm and \dmd so I was wondering if this may perhaps be the cause of some of the problems I've had.

By "the mtimes" I meant "the file modification times". In other words, I use the file that was more recently modified if dmd.zip and dmc.zip both contain a file with the same name. -[Unknown]"Unknown W.

Normally that's what would have done also... but I didn't use the DMC stuff at all, because I wanted to test DMD without DMC. I guess it doesn't work that way at this point, so I've decided to give in and just try to get it to function correctly. TZ

It will be easiest if you extract dmc to c:\dm and dmd to c:\dmd. Then add c:\dm\bin and c:\dmd\bin to your path.

Just a note - the dmc.zip houses the Windows versions of DMC and the linker. For Linux, you only need to download the dmd.zip and make /dmd/bin/dmd executable.
