You may have to set some paths in dub.json Sorry "lflags-windows": ["D:/projects/d_projects/dwt/win-res/resource.res"] this res file is compiled with rc.exe of windows SDK and doesn't included in the repo. İt is just for embedded icon for exe and modern looknfeel of GUI window. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/resource-compiler. I don't have access to any computer at the moment. This is very common in windows programming. You can search for it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/resource-compiler

There are quite few D GUI projects we are aware of, Tilix being one of the popular ones. I have few personal projects that are based, like Tilix, on GtkD (https://gtkd.org). I never tried DWT. Thanks for sharing.

See the example I posted elsewhere in this thread:
https://forum.dlang.org/post/mwerxaolbkuxlgfep...@forum.dlang.org
I defined
```
@nogc ~this() {
free(ptr);
printf("Data has been freed\n");
}
```
and that gets called when the reference count hits zero.
Oh sorry, missed that.

We must be talking about different things. You could, for
instance, call a function in a C library to allocate memory at
runtime. That function returns a pointer and you pass it to
SafeRefCounted to ensure it gets freed. Nothing is known about
the allocation at compile time. This is in fact my primary use
case - allocating an opaque struct allocated by a C library,
and not wanting to concern myself with freeing it when I'm
done with it.
Using a raw pointer as the `SafeRefCounted` type like that
isn't going to work. `SafeRefCounted` will free only the
pointer itself at the end, not the struct it's referring to. If
you use some sort of RAII wrapper for the pointer that `free`s
it at it's destructor, then it'll work - maybe that's what you
meant.
