Earlier today, I tried to use the D compiler for .NET from
http://dnet.codeplex.com/
Beyond compilation of the compiler, I found zero instructions on what to do
next. How do I integrate the compiler into the .NET framework/visual
studio? I'd like to be able to add D files to existing solutions (with C#
code). If I can do that, I'll probably push for some small adoption of D at
work. (I'm hoping mixins and templates will inspire the initial use of D)
Any tips or documentation on how to get started would be appreciated.
It works from the command line like dmd but with ms vs tools like ilasm
in your path too. Visual studio could probably make use of it but is
there any D VS plugin projects that are not dead?
It uses D import files to call existing clr code but it only has a few
things in the import files. It is possible to add stuff to the import
files but the plan is to generate the imports automatically. It is
pretty much very experimental at the moment and could do with the extra
man power to get it going. Dmd front end in source control with proper
documentation as you asked in D newsgroup would help a lot.
The import generator is mostly working but the generated imports are not
parseable. http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3061
