how to run D compiler

prjctl · 05-12-2010, 11:15 AM

i want to use the d compiler (such as gdc-4.1, but i'll take any other one too) to compile a package that some one else made (in this case it's this one: http://hizuoka.web.fc2.com/game/projectL/index_en.html ). i don't know how to compile it though. there's two subdirectories with .d files but none of these compiles on its own. in the top level dir there's a file build.xml but i don't know what to do with it. how do i compile? never used d before.

I don't know about D, but the Ant build system uses build.xml, so try cd-ing into the directory with build.xml and running the `ant' program. It can't hurt!

P.S. I'm sorry if it hurts.

Well guessed, the build.xml actually says "Ant" in its comments. Thanks!

I run ant and get the following error:

Code:

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/lib/tools.jar
Buildfile: build.xml

compile:

BUILD FAILED
/home/prjctl/projectL_1001/build.xml:34: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "dmd": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

Now what do I do?
