digitalmars.D.bugs - Unable to link Windows examples

reply Blackspawn <a b.com> writes:
Hi!

I don't know if this is a bug or if it's just my fault, but I didn't 
find a general help newsgroup for D so I'm just posting it here.

I have installed the D compiler on my Win2k system along with the linker 
and the tools. I'm using the Zeus editor to compile/edit sources. Now 
the problem is, I am unable to correctly link any of the windows 
examples in the \dmd\samples\d\ directory. After compiling/linking, I do 
get an .exe file, but it seems to be broken (Windows reports "xxx is not 
a valid Win32 application). Also, I'm getting strange linker errors. For 
example, if I try to compile and link chello.d, I get:

semantic3 chello

Is this the fault of the linker/compiler or am I missing something here? :/


PS: I get the same errors when I try to compile and link the examples 
manually, so it's not the fault of my IDE.

PPS: All non-windows examples, like for example dhry.d, compile and link 
just fine.

It sounds like you're not compiling and linking with the right options. For
example with dserver you need to add "chello.obj uuid.lib ole32.lib advapi32.lib
kernel32.lib user32.lib" to compile command at the command prompt. I'm not sure
if you can do this from your syntax editor.

There are some hints in \samples\d\all.sh.

Also compile htmlget like this: dmd htmlget.d ws2_32.lib

Well, I have also tried to execute \dmd\samples\d\run.bat which compiles 
and links all examples automatically by running all.sh, but all the 
resulting .exe files are invalid, too...

Correction, the non-windows examples compile and link correctly, while 
the windows examples are not linked at all...

I gave run.bat a go, it contains the following:

   \dmd\bin\shell all.sh

which I changed to

   ..\..\bin\shell all.sh

as my dmd dir is not at the root.

Then I edited all.sh and changed

   DMD=\dmd\bin\dmd

to

   DMD=dmd

as my dmd dir is not at the root and dmd.exe is in my PATH so will execute 
without a path.

Running it gives the following executables:

24/11/2004  12:16 p.m.            81,436 sieve.exe
24/11/2004  12:16 p.m.            89,628 pi.exe
24/11/2004  12:16 p.m.            86,556 dhry.exe
24/11/2004  12:16 p.m.            82,972 wc.exe
25/07/2004  12:50 a.m.           103,452 htmlget.exe

I noticed errors for the 'dserver' and 'dclient' programs, the dserver 
errors were at first:

dserver.d(254): C style cast deprecated, use cast(LPOLESTR)(szID)
dserver.d(301): C style cast deprecated, use cast(LPOLESTR)(szID)

i.e. old style casts, which I then fixed, next error:

dserver.d(80): class chello.CHello member this is not accessible

looking at CHello (in chello.d) I see the constructor is inside a 
'protected' block. I do not know what the correct solution here is as I do 
not know what is achieved by putting a constructor in a protected block.

Perhaps someone else has a solution/idea?

Arg! Didn't we already tell Walter about this months ago?

Right.

When I commented out the protect in chello.d (line 41), it worked. Maybe 
that is what it's supposed to be.

Also, all.sh refers to a mysterious file called test.d that doesn't exist.

Good grief!

I'd think that testing the samples would be part of the testing regimen 
before each version of D is released...

I suppose he may have not have seen it because he's probably still 
behind in reading messages, and I guess it wasn't ever posted to the 
bugs newsgroup.

Just managed to compile and link htmlget.exe via

dmd htmlget.d ws2_32.lib

Actually, neither, I think I built that one earlier, sorry, I was 
misleading.

Does winsamp work?

Try to compile it like this (as the instructions within the code mention):

dmd winsamp gdi32.lib winsamp.def

It works for me.

As Regan mentioned, apparently some of the programs have some obsolete 
code. Sorry about that. I guess we'll have to give Walter a hard time.
