cannot build phobos browse information

for quite a while now i have this problem, still happening with v0.3.36:

Building phobos JSON browse information files to C:\D\DMD2\windows\bin\JSON\
dmd.exe not found in DMDInstallDir=C:\D\DMD2\windows\bin\ or through PATH

however, the path is correct and code compiles with visualD.

Sorry for the late reply, the forum is so quiet that I forget to check it from time to time.

DMDInstallDir should not include "windows\bin". You should configure it as "C:\D\DMD2" in the DMD directories settings and add "$(DMDInstallDir)windows\bin" to the executable paths.

Best,
Rainer

thx rainer,

you are right, my settings did not make much sense and fixing them made the phobos build process start. however, it ends with a failure/error message (i am using DMD 2.061):

Hi,

Building the phobos build process works for me for dmd versions 2.060, 2.061, 2.062 and the current githead.
Maybe you have installed 2.061 over an existing folder with a previous dmd version? There were some changes to the generation of di files that caused trouble when doing this.

thanks again rainer!

checking the consistency of my installation i found the problem. turns out it was the sc.ini file. i must have messed with it long time ago in an attempt to fix the the original problem (which was the wrongly set path). so i had a spurious "-I%@P%\..\..\src\druntime\src" in DFLAGS... stupid!

is working fine now. cheers,
