- Benji Smith (37/40) Aug 11 2008 Boo yah! That's what I was forgetting.
- Lars Ivar Igesund (8/52) Aug 11 2008 Hmm, maybe you need to link a specific win library for registry support?
- Koroskin Denis (3/50) Aug 11 2008 It's advapi32.lib, located in /dm/lib (*not* /dmd/lib).

I'm trying to use the DWin Registry module in my code, and I'm pretty
stumped just trying to figure out the steps.
I'm using DMD 1.33 on Windows XP SP3, with Tango 0.99.7 and DWin 0.38.
I'm building with DSSS 0.75.
I've followed the instructions here ( http://dsource.org/projects/dwin )
to build the DWin library, and now I've got a file sitting here called
"C:\dmd\dwin.lib" and I have no idea what to do with it.
I tried directly copying the example code from the Registry module, but
it won't compile:
regtest.d:
---------------------------------------------------------------
module regtest;
import dwin.sys.win32.Registry;
import tango.io.Stdout;
import tango.text.convert.Sprint;
void main()
{
char[] result;
scope httpkey =
RegistryKey.classesRoot.openSubKey(r"HTTP\shell\open\command");
if(httpkey !is null)
{
result = httpkey.getValue!(char[])(null);
Stdout(result).newline;
//"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
}
else
Stdout("failed").newline;
}
dsss.conf:
---------------------------------------------------------------
name = regtest
[regtest.d]
target = regtest
But when I run "dsss build", I get the following error:
regtest.d => regtest
+ D:\Development\d\libs\dsss\bin\rebuild.exe -Idsss_imports\ -I. -S.\
-ID:\Development\d\libs\dsss\include\d -SD:\Development\d\libs\dsss\lib\
-ID:\Development\d\libs\dsss\include\d
-SD:\Development\d\libs\dsss\lib -oqdsss_objs\D regtest.d -ofregtest
regtest.d(3): module Registry cannot read file 'dwin\sys\win32\Registry.d'
Command D:\Development\d\libs\dsss\bin\rebuild.exe returned with code 1,
aborting.
Error: Command failed, aborting.
So... why can't it read 'dwin\sys\win32\Registry.d'? It it a compiler
error or a DSSS error?
As a longtime java programmer, I know how to set the classpath to tell
the java compiler or JVM where to find libraries. But I don't know how
to tell the DMD or DSSS. I assumed that building the DWin library (in a
subdirectory of DMD, of all places!) would immediately make it available.
But I'm completely clueless and need some guidance.
Thanks!

I'm not in position to test DWin, but did you run dsss install at any point?
Does DWin support it? When that is done, dsss will know without any further
ado how to find it when compiling your application.
Otherwise it is as with dmd, add -Ipathtodwinimports to your commandline,
and similar for libraries and library paths. The actual arguments are
processed in rebuild, so the helptext there should be of some help.
