It can't find object_.d. It means that the path to druntime (and probably the 
path to phobos as well) is screwed up. Your dmd.conf (or sc.ini I guess, since 
you appear to be on Windows) needs to be fixed to have the correct paths.

Heh, turns out the problem was something I glossed over in my listing of 
what I did.

When I created sc.ini, I created it in the main current directory (ie, the 
same directory that contains the "dmd", "druntime" and "phobos" 
subdirectories). Then I gave sc.ini to DMD with:


 copy sc.ini dmd\bin


And then ran dmd from the current directory. So DMD picked up ./sc.ini 
instead of ./dmd/bin/sc.ini. And of course, since the paths in sc.ini are 
given relative to sc.ini itself, that's what screwed it up.

Boy, three time-consuming dumbass mistakes in two days. I'm really on a roll 
here... ;)
