Is there anything I should try?
I don't think we should fiddle with the D language support for now. The reason is language support under CMake is badly documented so it takes quite an effort to get it right, and in any case that D support code was imported from another group's efforts so nobody here understands it. Instead, what I have decided to do (revision 13095) is to set -DENABLE_d=OFF as the default on Windows. Furthermore, if a Windows users goes out of their way to specify -DENABLE_d=ON they will be warned of the conflict with wxwidgets. I hope everyone is satisified with that semi-permanent workaround to the interference on Windows between D language support and wxwidgets linking. Thanks, Thorsten, for reminding us of this issue which we had not paid enough attention to until now. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
