Hi all.
I'm trying to get dmd working on a windows xp system, but am having the
following problems when trying to compile the winsamp.d program.  When I
compile winsamp.d alone, I get errors about it not beeing a "vallid win32
executable."  When I try compiling in the def file, I get a bunch of linker
errors about things like create_font, select_object, and others.
Assistance would be appriciated.

To quote the first few line of the source:
    /* Compile with:
    * dmd winsamp gdi32.lib winsamp.def
    */
Also, you'll need to add the switch -d to that cause the example uses
C-style cast.

Hope that helps :-)

Ameer

The gdi32.lib is needed.

Try this:
dmd winsamp.d winsamp.def gdi32.lib


By the way, I think you've already handled this, but line 139 should be updated
from
MessageBoxA(null, (char *)o.toString(), "Error",
to:
MessageBoxA(null, cast(char *)o.toString(), "Error",

(I guess Walter hasn't checked this sample in a while.)

    The following samples contain C-style casts:
dhry.d
hello2.html
dserver.d
chello.d
dclient.d
recls_test_1.d
recls_test_2.d
winsamp.d

    The following samples isn't build by the script:
recls_test_1.d
recls_test_2.d
winsamp.d
d2html.d
htmlget.d
listener.d

    The 2 source files test.d & winsamp.d describe the same program. I don't
know which of the two is newer version but one of them can be deleted.

That's strange.  Are you sure the compiler gave you no errors at all?

 When I try compiling in the def file, I get a bunch of linker
 errors about things like create_font, select_object, and others.

That's bizarre.  Windows API function names are of the forms CreateFont, 
SelectObject.

What was the exact command you tried to compile with?  The one given in 
a comment at the top of winsamp.d (or has that comment disappeared?) or 
something else?

Stewart.
