Posted: 02/21/08 11:13:25 Hi all, I'm a newbie for D and Windows Vista user. I'm trying to compile tango from his SVN version and, when I try a "dsss build" on "example\". At the compilation of "createzip", the compiler give me the error : conduits\createzip.d => conduits\createzip + C:\DMD\dmd\bin\rebuild.exe -Idsss_imports\ -I. -S.\ -IC:\DMD\dmd\include\d -SC:\DMD\dmd\lib\ -IC:\DMD\dmd\include\d - SC:\DMD\dmd\lib -oqdsss_objs\D -L-lz conduits\createzip.d -ofconduits\createzip C:\DMD\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe dsss_objs\D\_createzip,conduits\createzip,,user32+kernel32/noi+DD-tango-io.lib+DD-t ango-text.lib+DD-tango-io.lib+DD-tango-text.lib+DD-tango-time.lib+DD-tango-io.lib+DD-tango-stdc.lib+DD-tango-io.lib+DD-t ango-stdc.lib+DD-tango-io.lib+DD-tango-stdc.lib+DD-tango-io.lib+DD-tango-text.lib+DD-tango-io.lib+DD-tango-time.lib+DD-t ango-io.lib+DD-tango-sys.lib+DD-tango-io.lib+DD-tango-core.lib+.\\+C:\DMD\dmd\lib\\+C:\DMD\dmd\lib\-lz+tango-user-dmd.li b+tango-user-dmd.lib; OPTLINK (R) for Win32 Release 8.00.1 Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989-2004 All rights reserved.

I would recommend using the pre-built binary bundles instead since they avoid having to deal with dsss, librarians, and such things. You can get the bundles from the Tango download page.

I'll see if that can be fixed. You will in any case have to make sure zlib (zlib.lib I believe is the correct file name) is available, and that dsss has the library path, either through the command line or the configuration.

But, it seems to me that the flag -L-lz or -Lzlib depend of the linker rather than the OS, I'm not sure... larsivi wrote: Btw, Tango is working properly on Vista for you? I will verify it by testing if all examples are ok on Vista... tsalm
