Hi Joel,

What happens if you try to compile from the command line? It might be a 
problem of the setup of the compiler you are using.

Searching in google "DMD could not detect versions" I found these:

"Usually when I see the "Could not detect versions" message when using 
DSSS's rebuild, I can fix it by adding the directory with dmd.exe to the 
path. (I don't understand why it's such a cryptic error message though.)"

So there's a big chance you are using DSSS. :)

Well, if that's not the case let me know.

only following the instructions from the Descent dsource page.

But now I get nothing, or 'Launching Jake has encounted a problem. 
Variable references empty selection: ${project_loc}' I've also got a 
list of undefines at one point.
