If you are building the library yourself in another project in Visual 
Studio, just add a project dependency and it will be added to the linker 
command line.

Otherwise you should add it to the "Library Files" option on the linker 
page of the project configuration.

If you mean to replace the default phobos library, you might have to add 
-L/NODEFAULTLIB:phobos to the command line.

Just thought I'd post this in a related existing thread. I've 
tried numerous ways to include DSFML (a D binding for SFML), but 
I can't seem to get it to work. I expect I'm doing something 
stupid somewhere along the way, but I haven't been able to figure 
out what.

I tried putting this in the Library Files field in the linker 
settings:

"C:\DSFML\prebuilt\dsfml-system.lib;C:\DSFML\prebuilt\dsfml-window.lib;C:\DSFML\prebuilt\dsfml-network.lib;C:\DSFML\prebuilt\dsfml-graphics.lib;C:\DSFML\prebuilt\dsfml-audio.lib"

But when I try using "import dsfml.system.sleep;" to import a 
part of the library, it spouts this:

"main.d(3): Error: module sleep is in file 'dsfml\system\sleep.d' 
which cannot be read"

If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate the help. :)

You haven't configured your import path. The libraries are for the 
linker, but you need the source modules on the import path for the 
compiler. So assuming C:\dev\source\dsfml, you'll need to put 
C:\dev\source somewhere in the compiler settings.

I put the source location into "Additional Imports", and it gave 
this error:

"Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D5dsfml6system5sleep12__ModuleInfoZ"

I tried removing the linker's library files, but the error stayed 
the same.

this may means that you must compile that dsfml(?) as library
first and then link it with your code. because adding import
paths only says to compiler that they are exists, but no actual
code generated for them unless you put it in your build. i hope
it clear enough now.

Isn't that what putting the path to the prebuilt .lib files in 
the linker configuration does?

 "import path" is for .d/.di files, library path is for .lib

sorry for such obvious comment. i must say that library files is 
full path or just filename.lib, and library search path is where 
.lib's can be found. and keep in mind that most(if not all) 
project options are delimited with spacebars only, not semicolon.

so if you have such paths like
"C:\Some Location\lib;D:\other\lib"
you shold try to split them like this
"C:\Some Location\lib" D:\other\lib

add necessary .lib file names to "library files" field, in this 
case it should be something like "dsfml.lib" or whatever, there 
may be also multiple libs.

p.s. you don't do any C/C++ ever, right? :)

All right, I put the filenames for the library files in that 
field, with spaces separating them:

In answer to your question, no, I don't do C++ programming, but 
I've learned Java and various other OO programming languages, and 
I wanted to try starting a project in a language that compiles to 
native code, and D seemed like a good option.

you can actualy leave library search path as C:/DSFML/prebuilt 
and add library names "dsmfl-audio.lib" and other.

but this error(something about module info) may be due different 
compiler versions(e.g. prebuild libs was built with dmd 2.064, 
and ur dmd is 2.065)(1),  so you better rebuild that dsfml and 
try again.


btw i recommend use dub[1] if you don't already. it is easy to 
maintain any changes with it, dub can generate VisualD projects, 
and mono-d could open dub packages directly.

Hi. (And at first, sorry for my bad English). I have same problem
with same library :)
It my first project in D. And first project with SFML (DSFML of
course).

I use dub for making Visual Studio project (I use VS2010). Then
open it and set up project settings:
general http://goo.gl/QuM2QE
compiler http://goo.gl/6GR2VZ
linker http://goo.gl/2XISxF

Autocomplete works correctly. http://goo.gl/LQf13s

When I try build project, here is error:
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D5dsfml8graphics12__ModuleInfoZ

How I can resolve it?

 projects, and mono-d could open dub packages directly.

Btw, mono-d works and I alreday start project with it. But here I
do not have option for debugging:
http://goo.gl/NGZ3Oh (in Visual Studio debugger works fine).

do you build it manually or use some kind of shipped .lib file? 
in latter case you'd better build it yourself.

dub tracks project dependencies and rebuild them automatically if 
needed.

and since there is not only module info symbol "missing" it may 
be something wrong with VisualD path to this lib or link args.
