DWT works fine for me at least.
Try the following:
cd /path/to/dwt
dmd build.d
build base
del .\imp\java\lang\util.di
copy .\base\src\java\lang\util.d .\imp\java\lang\
build swt
del .\imp\org\eclipse\swt\internal\Library.di
copy
.\org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86\src\org\eclipse\swt\internal\Library.d
.\imp\org\eclipse\swt\internal
then build your app using (win32):
dmd
-Ipath\to\dwt\imp
-Jpath\to\dwt\org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86\res
path\to\dwt\lib\org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86.lib
path\to\dwt\lib\olepro32.lib
path\to\dwt\lib\oleacc.lib
path\to\dwt\lib\usp10.lib
path\to\dwt\lib\msimg32.lib
path\to\dwt\lib\opengl32.lib
path\to\dwt\lib\shlwapi.lib
path\to\dwt\lib\dwt-base.lib
yourapp.d
may be you'll need to fix the paths I wrote - I think it won't
be hard
I know DWT works because I am able to compile the base and I am
able to compile the snippets as specified by the DWT Author's
instructions. Anyway thanks for the information but these are no
where close to the instructions that the author of DWT said to
follow. I am a bit concerned about deleting and copying files
around because I would like to be able to perform painless
upgrades of DWT without trying to remember "Oh yeah I copied
utils.d over here." Or worse I go to perform these copies and
those files are no longer called this or are just missing then
what would I do? Because I could not get the authors
instructions to work tells me the author needs to be aware and
needs to either fix the instructions or fix the layout of the
distribution. Maybe some part of the Base did not compile or
something like that. I have no idea it could be anything when
you are trying to compile code on another machine from the one
that the code was developed on. I wish DWT was offered as a
binary distro instead of source code. Either way I would rather
to always follow the instructions given to me by the author. Now
what I may do is try compiling with dmd directly instead of using
rdmd, I was just not sure what libraries are required is all.
