Hello everyone. I've been interested in D programming language for a while now but never got my hand on it. I'd like to try game programming with D+Derelict. However, when I tried to compile the program according to DMedia tutorial, I got this error.

Have you built and linked the Derelict libs? When you aren't using a build tool like Rebuild or Bud, which compile and link all imported modules automatically, you need to build the libraries yourself and link the ones you are using. You'll also need to link with DerelictUtil.lib, as all of the other Derelict packages depend on it.

aldacron, thank you for your answer.
I believed I've successfully built derelict with dsss. However, I do not know how to link it like you suggested. I'll try looking into into myself first then Smile

Anyway, should I be using Rebuild or Bud instead? Is DSSS considered as a build tool also?

EDIT: I got it to work now, by linking all the libraries like you said in the Code::Blocks IDE. Thank you very much Smile

What IDE are you using? And by failing to build, you mean failing to build using DSSS or dmd? It would be nice if you post the error message as well.

As for what I did, I built the library with dsss, and copy all the source files and .lib file to dmd include folder. I then configure Code::Blocks digital mars d compiler to look for library and include files in those folders.
