Hey everyone,
I am new to D, and interested in using it with Derelict2 for
game
development. I plan on using Visual D, which I have installed
already. I
used the visual studio 2008 solution file to build the
libraries and the
.di files but unfortunately I do not know where to put these
files once
built or alternatively setup Visual D to recognize their
location.
Right click on your project in the Solution Explorer, select
"Properties", then "Configuration Properties"->DMD. Enter the
path (absolute or relative) to your import directory (ex: if
the DerelictUtil modules are in C:\foo\derelict\util, you would
add C:\foo as the import path).
Now select "Configuration Properties"->Linker and enter the
libraries in Library Files. You'll need to include the path
like so:
C:\foo\libs\DerelictUtil.lib C:\foo\libs\DerelictGL.lib
Alternatively, you can add the following to the top of your
source module:
pragma(lib, "C:\foo\libs\DerelictUtil.lib");
pragma(lib, "C:\foo\libs\DerelictGL.lib");
...
Makes sure to add every lib you need to link with.
Lastly, how would I import these libraries in the code?
You don't import "libraries". You import "modules". The import
statement tells DMD which source modules to look in for
external declarations. It has absolutely nothing to do with
library files. And if the root directory for the module package
is not on the import path, it won't be able to find them.
Thank you for helping a newbie! Much appreciated!
