Here is the first draft. It would be nice if somebody would try it out, to
have some feedback.

1. Go to "Settings" -> "Compiler and debugger..."
2. In the dialog choose "Global compiler settings"
3. Select the compiler "Digital Mars D Compiler"
4. Go to "Linker settings" tab
5. Optional: change "phobos" to "phobos2" in the "Link libraries" if you use
dmd-2.xx
6.
Add "-g -m32 -Xlinker /opt/dmd/lib/libphobos2.a -Xlinker -L/opt/dmd/bin/../lib"
to the "Other linker options"
7. Go to "Search directorries" tab and choose "Linker" tab
8. Set your search directories. (For Gentoo: "/opt/dmd/lib" and "/usr/lib"
must be set.)
9. Go to "Toolchain executables" tab
10. Set the correct path for your dmd installation. (For Gentoo "/opt" must
be set.)
11. In the "Program Files" tab set the following values:
"C compiler" -> "dmd"
"C++ compiler" -> "dmd"
"Linker for dynamic libs" -> "gcc"
"Linker for static libs" -> "gcc"
"Debugger" -> "gdb"
"Resource compiler" -> "" (optional)
"Make program" -> "make"
12. In the "Additional Paths" tab add the installation path of the GNU
toolchain (gcc, make, gdb). (For Gentoo "/usr" must be set.)
13. Go to "Other settings" tab
14. Choose "Advanced options..."
15. On the "Commands" tab select "Compile single file to object file" from
teh combo box. Be sure that the "command line macro" is set to "$compiler
$options $includes -c $file -of$object". Mind the -of switch for $object!

These are the basic compiler settings, to make the compiler work.
Additionally you can set any compiler switches as you like, or define
resource compiler, or additional include paths for libraries and soruces,
etc. But normally these settings are project specific, therefore they
should go to the "Project -> Properties..".

+1:
I encountered an interesting issue in the project settings, which I could
only solve with a small workaround. If I set the "Output filename" in
the "Project -> Properties..." dialog box on the "Build targets" tab
to "<outputfilename>", the generated output file will be
named "f<outputfilename>". So I put the "mv f<outputfilename>
<outputfilename>" line in the "Project -> Build options..." dialog box on
the "Pre/post build steps" tab to the "Post build steps".

Any comments are welcome!

I think this is due to the mixing of DMD and GCC when compiling/linking,
i.e. if one passes -of<outputfilename> to gcc, that will be the result.

Yes, it may be the problem, but I'm not sure if it can be really influenced
by the configuration. The linking command looks like:

$linker $libdirs -o $exe_output $link_objects $link_resobjects $link_options
$libs

CodeBlocks separates compiling and linking, and in my configuration gcc is
called directly for linking with the -o switch. DMD is only used when
making the individual object files, where the -of switch is used.

As a small note, I'd recommend to use "-od$objects_output_dir" instead 
of "-of$object". That way, the -op switch for dmd will also work.

If you use -od$objects_output_dir", but don't use the -op switch, the linker
won't find the object files. (At least in my configuration.)

I see - CodeBlocks seems to assume -op in case of -od... unfortunate 
that -od/-op is not the default behaviour, since it's not that uncommon 
to have multiple modules with the same name.

It's for windows, but I think most of it applies to both. And this German guy

Wow, it's awesome! A link to these tutorials should definitely be posted

Yes, it's a great tutorial, but if you read through my howto, you will find
crucial points not discussed in the above video.

I wrote my howto for Linux. It is based on dmd and the GNU tools,

I don't know much about Vista, but if you give an exact description of your
