On tools - user tools - command I input C:\D\dmc\dm\bin\dmc.exe I am not sure if
this is correct.

Is the dmd executable in your PATH? If you're on XP/2000, you can set this in
MyComputer->Properties->Advanced Tab->Environment Variables, or somewhere close
by... (not on XP at the moment)

Other than that, shouldn't you be calling dmd.exe instead of dmc.exe? Dmc is the
C++ compiler afaik.

I am new at this and am not sure of what I am doing.


I changed dmc.exe to dmd.exe.
I set the path in envronment variables to dmd.exe but I still get the same
message.
I set the path to ;C:\D\dmd\dmd\bin;C:\D\dmd\dm\bin.

The error message on the Crimson editor is.  ---------- Capture Output

It's finding dmd.exe just fine. What it' choking on is link.exe. You have to
tell it exactly where it is if you don't put it where it's expected to be.

1)Find the full path to Link.exe
2)set the environment variable "LINKCMD" to that path.

And by default it expects the linker to be in C:\dm\bin.



 1)Find the full path to Link.exe
 2)set the environment variable "LINKCMD" to that path.


Alternatively you can set the same variable in dmd/bin/sc.ini. But then 
you would have to do that every time you update D.

I am now at the point when I compile this program.

int main(char[][] args)
{
printf("hello world\n");
printf("args.length = %d\n", args.length);
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++)
printf("args[%d] = '%s'\n", i, cast(char *)args[i]);
return 0;
}

I get this on the crimson editor output window.

---------- Capture Output ----------

 "C:\dmd\bin\dmd.exe" hello.d


C:\dmd\bin\link.exe hello,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

 Terminated with exit code 0.


I get no output showing "hello world"
I am not sure why. I think I am getting close. Please help.

Well, from the output it looks like the program was compiled and linked
successfully, as exit code 0 generally means success. An executable should have
been generated. Have you tried running it? ;)

After running the program hello.d on crimson editor I now have hello.d,
hello.exe, hello.obj and hello.map. When I go to the folder I have hello.exe in
and click on it, it flashes up on the screen so fast I can not read it. Is there
a way to run the program from crimson editor? Also is there a way to keep the
console screen from disappearing? What would I type in on the console to access
hello.exe which I have in folder dmd? Thanks for any help.

I use crimson editor as well. The way I do this is that I only use CE to
edit the program source and not run the compiler etc.... However, I do have
a 'tool' set up to open a DOS console starting in the folder where the
source file is. My settings for CE are ...

 Menu Text: DOS Prompt
 Command: C:\win2000\system32\cmd.exe
 Argument: 
 Initial Dir: $(FileDir)
 Hot Key: None
 Close of Exit: [ticked]
 Capture output: [not ticked]
 Use short filename: [not ticked]
 Save before execute: [ticked]

I have this set to Ctrl-2 so when I want to compile the code, I press
Ctrl-2 to bring up a DOS console and type "build <whatever>". 

Hmmm ... I could add a command switch to Build so you can run the compiled
program immediately after a successful link. That way, you need only to set
up CE to run 'build' with this new switch and it can compile then run your
program all in one step.

I just keep a command prompt open alongside CE and use it for 
building/running.  I can understand the desire to do it with a keystroke 
or two from within CE, but it's not a hassle at all for me. Particularly 
when using Derek's Build utility. I have a couple of Build Respons Files 
for debug and release configs (and other configurations as needed). From 
CE I alt-tab to the command prompt, type build  dbg, type exename. Maybe 
one day I'll try to figure out how to get all of that configured in CE, 
but for now it doesn't matter.

Thanks for all the help. I set up the console to open with crtl 2. Is there any
books on programming in the D language?
