I just set up a new (Windows) computer, after working with the same
DMD/Tango/DWin/DSSS installation for the last six or eight months. And
for the life of me, I can't get my code to compile on the new machine.
The Tango installation instructions seem to be somewhat out of date,
since they describe installing tango on top of an existing DMD
installation, while the tango distributions for DMD all include the
compiler and don't require a pre-existing DMD installation:

Anyhow, the particular error I'm getting when I try to compile my code
(using "dsss build") is this:
module FileConduit cannot read file 'tango\io\device\FileConduit.d'
Does tango.io.device.FileConduit still exist? It doesn't in my copy of
tango.
This is my sc.ini file (unmodified from the tango install):
Since it references the "tango-user-dmd.lib" file, I wonder why it even
needs to include the FileConduit.d source file. Why doesn't it just use
the lib?
You don't need to compile FileConduit, but the frontend needs to know a
lot of stuff that would be difficult or impossible to get from a .lib
file -- things like function return types and parameter types, or
templates. It's basically the same as needing a C header file, even
though you have the compiled library.
