I am trying to get a fellow to try D but just setting up on
windows 10 has been headache. He's currently remote. Here's the
problem. (Note I'm a Linux user and haven't used windows 10)
1. He installed dmd 2 but the command "dmd" is not recognized.
He confirmed and c:\D\dmd2\windows\bin is in system path. Why?
2. He installed visual studio 2015 and visualD(pointed it to
dmd location during installation), restarted visual studio.
Without creating a visualD project, "compile and run" does
nothing when he clicks. We haven't tried creating a project
though, just using a D file with simple "Hello, world!" code.
Syntax highlighting work though.
3. He navigated to ...dmd2\windows\bin where "dmd" command
works. But "dmd -run file.d" says Oplink error, linker exited
with code ...
I had similar problems with Win7 and the same setup, for some
reason dmd's sc.ini wasn't being parsed, making the linker fail
to find the required libraries. I solved it by adding the library
paths (3 in total) manually to VisualD's options.
