I suspect link.exe has trouble with that long path including the oddly

Yeah, that's the area. I think I got it.
link apparently doesn't like the dots in the output filename.
dmd -of"C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\.rdmd\hello.d.ED85692521C0A87990BB1B70BEE0046C.exe"
-od"C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\.rdmd\rdmd-hello.d-ED85692521C0A87990BB1B70BEE0046C"
"hello.d"
This fails with the weird error.
dmd -of"C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\.rdmd\hello-d-ED85692521C0A87990BB1B70BEE0046C.exe"
-od"C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\.rdmd\rdmd-hello.d-ED85692521C0A87990BB1B70BEE0046C"
"hello.d"
This works!
The dot in the .rdmd is ok, but not the ones in the actual filename.
Simple fix for this: rdmd.d line 160 and 161 can be changed to:
exe = join(myOwnTmpDir, std.string.replace(root, ".", "-"))
~ '-' ~ hash(root, compilerFlags);
And then it works.
Great, incorporated your fix and checked it in.
Let me try it with a slightly less trivial program. Uh oh. Actually, no...
that's a bug in my program. But it didn't give an error message.
In getDependencies(), if depsExitCode !=0, it should probably print some
kind of message explaining why it is exiting. (In my case, it was a typo
in the program causing a compile error.) The last few lines of dmd's
output would probably be a good choice.
Oh, indeed. In fact I'll print the entire file, at least for now:
if (depsExitCode)
{
if (exists(depsFilename))
{
stderr.writeln(readText(depsFilename));
}
exit(depsExitCode);
}
But then, I fix my stupid bug, and it works!
Yay, I think we did it.
Awesome, thanks. I credited you in rdmd.d.
I think that would be absolutely great, but only if it's absolutely no
hassle for you to set up.
None at all. I'll email you tomorrow night with the info.
By the way, does Windows Server 2003 offer
some command-line access (a la ssh) in addition to rdesktop (which is
indeed very nice)? Command-line access would allow me to automate builds
and tests.
Yes. Windows has a telnet server built in that I can turn on

Pretty fun stuff. This same functionality will basically work on 2k3 too.
Fun indeed. Thank you.
