We're missing an installation guide on a prominent place on the front
page.
Such things really scare away a lot of people.
if we scaring away people who can't download and run one .exe, this
can't be bad thing. there is clear link do download insteller on
dlang.org. when i was in need to write simple program on win8 box, i
downloaded that .exe, started it, pressed some "next" and "finish"
buttons and... voila, dmd compiler is here and working. if this is way
too hard for someone, then i doubt that he should write programs at all.
There are other more subtle problems that someone can run into. One
problem I've encountered on Windows is that having a '+' in your path
trips up Optlink (Notepad++ triggered this issue for me). Linking starts
failing for no apparent reason, and it is extremely frustrating until
you figure out what's wrong (and still maddening afterword to think that
such a stupid bug exists). Let's try to help debug the problem rather
than making presumptions about OPs technical knowledge.
Yep I got this issue, I spent a long time to figure it out.
Otherwise installation is pretty simple and standard for a developer.
