Many thanks to Cristi Vlasceanu for doing this. He'll also be talking
about it at the upcoming Compiler Construction seminar at
http://www.astoriaseminar.com
I'd love to play around with this, but my skills in building alpha-ish
software
are not up to par. If anyone has any clue how to build a working
compiler out of
these sources, please let me know. Also, is it even in a state where
this is
worth doing yet?
Just open the compiler.sln (in vs) and press f7
Also make sure that the vs tools are in your path as they are used to
convert the cil to .exe. I have a seperate folder for each D compiler and
a script to call it:
d-net.cmd:
@echo off
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86
SET PATH=C:\D\dnet\bin;%PATH%
cd C:\D\dnet
echo "Ready for D.Net"
@echo on
I have a shortcut to cmd with the target set like this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K C:\d\d-dnet.cmd
Here is a simple hello world:
module hw;
import System;
void main()
{
string s = "hello world\n";
Console.WriteLine(sys(s));
}
dnet -I../../src/phobos/ -I../../src/druntime/import/ hw.d
The sys function converts the D UTF8 string to a System.String. The sys
function is part of the dnet runtime so you will need dnetlib.dll either
in the project's folder or installed to the usuall place. I am manually
specifying my imports becuase of a bug somewhere
