All,
I'm very new to D. I am wanting to install the SciD module
(David Simcha's fork), but I don't know how to go about it.
Can you guide me?
Where does the code go? How do I import it?
Thanks,

There are many ways to go about using modules, I will go over
installing a module for Linux. Usually the simplest way to get
started is to pass all files to the compiler (you use an import
statement to import the modules).
Build SciD as a library.
$ dmd -lib -oflibscid.a all.d files.d for.d SciD.d
Copy lib to /usr/local/lib
Copy sciD source files in the same direcectory structure
(propably starting with scid/) to /usr/local/src
Installed.
Create a main.d file somewhere:
$ cat main.d
import scid.something;
void main() {}
$ dmd -I/usr/local/src main.d
Windows would be something different, however optlink doesn't
have a standard set of locations to look for library files. you
can also pass the library to dmd
$ dmd -I/usr/local/src main.d libscid.a -- If it is in the same
directory as main.d
Okay. I tried this. I think I am close. I followed the
instructions that you gave (thanks btw)!
But, I get this error message:
$ dmd -I/usr/local/src main.d
main.d(1): Error: module scid is in file 'scid.d' which cannot be
read
import path[0] = /usr/local/src
import path[1] = /Users/name/dmd2/src/phobos
import path[2] = /Users/name/dmd2/src/druntime/import
Thoughts?
Thanks!
