What arguments would I do to compile a d project through command line. Been trying a few things, but can't get it working. I always get "Error: cannot read file x" Read around the net and it most says it's an installation error and that reinstalling should fix it, but it works when compiling through a few IDE's so I assume it's mistake of my own. Tried like this: -c c:\testproject\main.d -m32 -ofc:\testd\out.exe And tried doing -v and it shows the correct information. Anyone who got an example to achieve it. The documents doesn't explain it proper IMO as there is no example on compiling manual.

If you're trying to make an executable, you shouldn't be using -c.

The documents doesn't explain it proper IMO as there is no example on compiling manual.I would say that you should make sure that the files are where you expect them to be. When using the console, iff you're in the source directory you shouldn't need to specify a full path for those files at least, which could help the compiler find them. You can still specify the output directory for the exe. On a side note, why use the m32 switch on Windows? That's the default, so it isn't needed.

Your file is in folder c:\testproject, so do cd \testproject dmd main.d Then look for a file called main.exe in the \testproject folder. I may be off the mark, since I have not used dmd under Windows for quite a long time, but try it.

----- I apologize for it all, my bad. It wasn't even a problem with the compiler nor arguments. I thought I had file extensions to show, so my main.d was actually main.d.txt Explains why it couldn't read the file. Fixed and got everything compiled fine.
