Moreover, I wonder if D is really a cross-platform programming language?! The official dmd only supports x86 structure. You can never build a project with third party static library in windows independently.
Back when DMD on windows exclusively used the OMF object format and optlink, a common complaint was that DMD didn't use the microsoft tools. I guess the DMD installer could ask to install the SDK when VS isn't present though.
And how I can build an android program? LDC2? So what dmd is? Only for a bit faster compiling time?
Yeah, use LDC or GDC for the fastest executables and widest platform support. Don't underestimate the value of fast compilation, it's incredibly useful while writing code.
After a whole day struggled in dmd and static library， I rewrote the demo GUI tool in Nim. Only in ten minutes, all works. Sigh.
You can always post in the forums if you're stuck. The learn forum is quite active most of the day.
