You might try Digger. That will hide all the tedious bits.
https://code.dlang.org/packages/digger
I think using digger in principle works and I assume the problems
I got aren't Digger's fault, but ae's. Building DMD + DRuntime
failed.
In my working folder (created by DUB running Digger), there's
DMD.exe, but trying compiling anything results in "Error: cannot
find source code for runtime library file 'object.d'"
I did nothing but follow the instructions on
code.dlang.org/packages/digger :
dub fetch digger
dub run digger -- build
I tried building the current version v2.94.2 and tried
--model=64, nothing helped.
The error I'm presented is when
work\build\bin\dmd.exe -lib -ofphobos64.lib -Xfphobos.json
-conf= -m64 [..1]
-I../druntime\import std\stdio.d [..2]
is executed.
[..1] IMO unrelated options
[..2] following many more std modules, probably all that there
are (haven't checked)
The error message is:
std\stdio.d(16): Error: module stddef is in file
'core\stdc\stddef.d' which cannot be read
I have no idea why the import failed. The stdc subfolder isn't in
the core folder, but that core folder isn't even in a
druntime/import folder anyway. Something's going horribly wrong.
It seems something beyond us just doesn't want me to get D stuff
done. :(
Tomorrow, I'll try setting up a dual boot and give it a shot
there. (Not the dub experience but following
https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_under_Posix)
Thank you all for your answers.
