 |
|
| DUI fails to compile with the latest DMD. Mainly due to two things: importing std.c.windows.windows without it being versioned, and there's a enum element named "cent". After changing that, it compiles. |

thank you for the warning (as for dool).
the svn version compiles with dmd 0.119
(linux, windows version not up to date).

I noticed the compile troubles too, and chalked it up to a buggy d compiler. Maybe not.
Why does the enum 'cent' cause a problem? What should it be changed to?
How do I 'version' that import, as you described? |

brave words!

cent is now a reserved word.
It's a keyborad key definition isn't it? I prefixed it with 'k'.

just "version(Win32)" on the same line:
version(Win32) private import std.c.windows.windows

PS the next release is just a weekend away! (I hope) |

Cool about the new release.
I made the changes but couldn't get it to link. (After trying several iterations of (add lib; try to compile;) I had to give up.)
BTW, I have the windows installer, and neither the setup or install seem to work? I get an Error (path) 264 or something like that. Is it supposed to be put in a specific directory? I ended up just copying all the source manulally into dmd/src and added -I's the sc.ini.
Edit: I should clarify: I couldn't get MY project to link. I did a copy and paste of your hello world sample, and tried to get that all built. I didn't try to build any samples or whatever right from the sdk.. in fact, I didn't even check to see if there were any. |

Like Ant said, a new release is in the works. There's a few issues that still need to be straightened out. The installer is not really necessary any more depending on what version of DUI you are using (original or dynDUI). If you are using the original DUI, I don't think it's working correctly on Windows at present. If you are using dynDUI, it is still being tested and improved for release, but will not need that installer. Of course, there still may be a use for another simple installer for dynDUI. We'll see.
I'm off on vacation for a few more days. Ant's seems to be working on making a release possible. I'm excited about the release he's planning in the near future. I'm hoping we can make this next release as easy to install and use as possible.
Ant's leds project is currently the biggest test of DUI for both linux and windows. We have partially working, and quite pleasing to look at, versions running on linux and windows.

True, I hope I have Sunday and Monday (long weekend here) to look at them (Saturday is already booked... :(

I would bet that the old version is to be dropped, unless there is a real disadvantage with dynDUI that I don't know about.
I would say that with the new release with move dynDUI to the main branch.
But dynDUI is your brand, John, do we need to keep it?
If we are going to change the name can we drop DUI?
(I didn't know it stands for Driving Und.... when I started the project)
All this means that any work on the old version is probably a wasted of time.
Without John's help nothing of this would be possible!

I can't see any huge disadvantages. Moving to the dynamic version probably would be a safe bet.

Oh! I forgot about that abbreviation! Yeah, we should probably change it. DynDUI name was just a temporary name I thought up to differentiate it from DUI, that's all. Can we think of a better name?

Thanks, for your support, Ant! And even better, this work would not have been possible without the original DUI.  The work you've put into is much greater than my small contribution.
I hope we can make DUI or <new-name-here> become even more fun and easy to use.

Here's a thread on names: http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=565. How about a non-english word? What do you say, Ant? |

Thanks for the pointer, Carlos.
I think a name change would be great. A non-English name is welcome, pending Antonio's approval.
We can definitely take time to deliberate on this one. It would be convenient, though, if a new name were decided upon at the time of the new versions announcement.
