Hi,

When I compile the example of FingerPaint, I've got the errors :

TSalm,

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble compiling the Windows Fingerpaint test program. I will ask GaboonViper to take a look at this. It's probably either that you need to run something like coff2omf or the libraries you need have simply not been added to the repository.

How do you like Fingerpaint otherwise?

Cheers, Alan

They are warnings, not errors, which means the compilation succeeded.

Those libs aren't necesary at the moment. The reason those warnings occur is because the bindings to the windows api are a lot more extensive than necessary. Basically some winapi modules are imported eventhough they're not used. These modules expect those lib files.

Eventually this will be fixed, but since it merely results into warnings that can be ignored, it's not a priority right now.

Cheers,
Boyd.

TSalm,

Welcome to the wonderful land of D!

There is nothing really right now that you can do aside from giving us feedback. If that sounds like a minor task it's not, feedback is very important and makes us know our project is useful to other people aside from ourselves. The best thing you can do for any open source project, short of submitting bucket loads of high quality bug fixes, is give high quality feedback.
