Hello! How do I build DMD from sources? Do I have to buy and use Digital Mars C++ compiler only? Best Regards, Daniel

Best Regards, DanielDigital Mars C++ compiler is free to use and is available for download on the same page with Digital Mars D compiler: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/download.html Just download the dmc.zip package, install it and update you PATH environment variable to include path to dmc.exe: (For Windows) set path=c:\dm\bin;%PATH% cd c:\dmd\src\dmd make -fwin32.mak Under Linux, you should also be able to build DMD with GCC.

Thank you for answering so fast. I'll try that. One more thing: I noticed I need to convert VS libraries from COFF format to OMF format so I can link them with my D software. I also noticed that coff2omf tool from Digital Mars is not free. Do you know any free tools that do that job?

Best regards, DanielWhere did you get that information from? coff2omf is free, download it from ftp://digitalmars.com In my experience, it's not that easy to get you VS compiled binary working with DMD (due to object format incompatibility). In most cases it's easier to re-compile your library with DMC compiler, if sources are available.

Well, I tried to download it from: http://www.digitalmars.com/download/freecompiler.html But the link to the Extended Utilities Package is a link to DM Shop. Maybe we should document this stuff on DMD home page, perhaps include them on FAQ. Can I build DMD using mingw? Or link to mingw libraries?

Daniel Ribeiro Maciel <daniel.maciel gmail.com> I just wanted coff2omf. I did not try to build dmd usind dmc yet. I was just wondering whether it could be built using mingw.
