Hi,
I've finally gotten round to upgrading my DMD to v2.062 (from v2.059) -
running on Win XP.
I've had no issues recompiling the (quite old) DFL library I use with
the latest DMD, so went on to rebuild a tool I previously developed
(that uses DFL). Everything compiled ok, but the linker choked on my RES
file. (This project build fine and worked perfectly on previous versions
of DMD up to and including v2.059). The error is:
OPTLINK (R) for Win32 Release 8.00.12

I suspect your build script has somehow omitted a ',' from the command
line in its invocation of optlink. The usage is
LINK obj[,out[,map[,lib[,def[,res]]]]]
so if a comma misses, your resource file is interpreted as a def file.
If you are invoking the linker through dmd, you might want to check the
linker call by adding "-v" to the command line.
