Only if you want to do it statically, but you don't need to mess with COFF for DLLs, most of these libs you've listed can build either statically or as a DLL.

Well, we do get things done: http://www.ohloh.net/p/dmd/commits/summary http://www.ohloh.net/p/libphobos/commits/summary On 9/1/13, Manu <[email protected]> wrote: >>> - Deprecate DMD makefiles.

How is deprecating makefiles easier than making whatever IDE that you're using just call a 'make' command when you click a button? Even VS comes with nmake and friends.

It would only make people leave the community, just like Tomasz Stachowiak (h3r3tic) left, and now I've learned Michel Fortin is also not using D anymore. Anyway it's not like we're not aware of the issues, these things are brought up in the newsgroups every other day. But the only way to fix the situation is: file bugs, contribute with pull requests.

Well look, you've obviously used D in a 64bit environment (so you've had to set this up yourself at least once), so I don't understand how you've managed to lose 6 hours on it. :)
