Not sure if it ties in with DMD or not but a libucrt.lib missing error

installations but is only recognized for the later for some reason).
Posting in case it helps isolate the issue for VisualD as well.

I just updated my VS2015 installation and can confirm the error message 
regarding libucrt.lib.


I found the library in the folder c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows 
Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10150.0\ucrt\x64. You can add it to the library search 
paths in Tools-Options-Projects and Solutions-Visual D-DMD 
Directories-x64.


Unfortunately, that does not help a lot because Microsoft changed their 
C runtime quite a bit to make it more compliant to C99. This causes 
unresolved symbols when linking phobos.

Does it include the C++ compiler and linker?


No, the VS shell does not include any specific language support and 
libraries.

I think it contains a linker, but I'm not 100% sure. See

Hi Gerald,

MonoTime is the replacement for TickDuration and it's 
initialized from the runtime initialization function (rt_init). 
This is because the GC and others may need time functionality.


Thanks, filed as https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14863.

That was fast. Thanks!


README in github repo still has some outdated links to dsource. Also
bugzilla address is https://issues.dlang.org/


I removed most dsource links (also from the documentation), but some are 
still valid and not available elsewhere (e.g. download links of files 
only found there).


I didn't immediately get what you meant with the bugzilla address 
because it worked due to redirection. I'll update that later...

Haven't looked at this at all really, just a quick question:

Are there straightforward library calls or command line utilities for
converting between the shared subset of json and SDL?


No, but there definitely should be. I'll post a ticket so I don't forget.


https://github.com/Abscissa/SDLang-D/issues/30


Without having looked at the library, perhaps this util would make some 
good sample code.

Sorry for long reviving of http://dlang.ru but we almost end work 
at it's engine. Now you may see, that it's become very fast. I 
hope that it will will be open on next week. All *major* bugs are 
fixed. There is only minors, about most of them I know.


Please do not start using it until I get approve from CMS 
developer.


Also I have plan to revive dsource.org on our CMS. It's very 
powerful, and can be used as collective forum and blog. So When 
we will test it, I will try to contact with dsource admins and 
suggest them to move site to our CMS.


Also if anybody want to help, you may help with site design.


London D meetups ...

2015-08-02 Thread Andy Smith via Digitalmars-d-announce

Hi All,

   I've just been in touch with Kingsley Hendrickse who's
unfortunately not going to have time to organise the London D
Programmer meetups in the future. Which is a real shame - I only
attended one of the two meetups but I was quite impressed with the
calibre of people that turned up, and Kinglsey did a great job of
organising it :-)

   I'd really hate for this initiative to die off just as it was
getting going. So I thought I'd just ping the London community 
and see

if there was any appetite for anyone to pick up the baton, so to
speak. Normally I'd just say I'll do it but I'm on the verge of
beginning a new job (literally starting tomorrow!), so I need to 
wait
until I'm achieved some sort of equilibrium there before I commit 
to

anything else.

   One thought I had was maybe a 'rolling' organiser would make 
sense?
Committing to organising one meetup is a far less onerous 
commitment

than becoming a full fledged card-carrying organiser so maybe that
would make sense?! I'd quite happily commit to organising one 
meetup

if there was a rotating quorum of organisers willing to step up. (
Probably wouldn't do any harm to the old linked-in profile :-) ).

   Anyway lets know your thoughts. The meetup group 'dies' on 17th
August unless someone else steps up - hopefully that won't happen 
:-)


Cheers,

Andy.




Seattle D meetup

Seeing the threads on London, Silicon Valley and Berlin meetups, is there any 
interest for a Seattle one?

btw, the Silicon Valley Meetup doesn't show up on this nice 
little worldwide map of Dlang Meetups on their website:


http://dpl.meetup.com/

Maybe Ali or some other organizer needs to add the appropriate 
tag to their Meetup so it will?  Would be cool if we could have a 
nicely populated Meetup map to show off on dlang.org somewhere.

Hi Andy.

Kingsley did a great job, but it's a tough thing to keep going as 
professional and personal demands increase.  It's important for D 
to have a presence in London, and being more involved probably 
pays for itself careerwise in the end, one way or the other.  We 
should definitely strive to keep things going.  I can't do much 
the next few weeks, and can't make a firm regular commitment as 
it's hard to predict other demands.  But if it's needed I will 
definitely do one, and try to do so again from time to time.



Laeeth.
