I downloaded 3ddemo, extracted, built and I get these errors:

This is typical with most of my trials with D... something is
always broken all the time and I'm expected to jump through a
bunch of hoops to get it to work. File a issue, fix it myself,
use a different library, etc. I'm expected to waste my time
fixing a problem that really should not exist or should have a
high degree of automation to help fix it. I really have better
things to do with my time so I won't invest it in D.
This attitude of "It's your problem" is going to kill D.
There is really no incentive for me to use D except for it's
language features... everything else it does, besides
performance, is shit compared to what most other languages do.
Really, D wins on very few metrics but the D fanboys will only
focus on those.
If D wants to survive it better get people willing to help it,
making their lives more difficult when there are far better
options out there will only starve D of what it needs(investing).
All those that think D is just fine, you are cutting your own
throats... Eventually D will become defunct and you'll have to
move on. Might be 10 years, 20 years, 30 years... but when Walter
and Andrew are done with D in a few years there will be no one
who will keep it alive(maybe a fork will occur but doubtful it
would get anywhere).
