Hello, I am learning D still and don't understand the
toolchain so well
yet, and when I try to switch out the rdmd to a dmd in the
run_example
batch script it errors out.

Is it possible to get an example build script that compiles
instead of
using rdmd?

rdmd automatically finds all .d files that the app.d depends
on - dmd doesn't do this and thus the linking will fail. If
you just want to build without running you can also navigate
to the example directory (e.g. examples/http_server) and then
execute "vibe build". You will then get an app.exe that can be
run manually.

Alternatively, building without rdmd just requires to pass all
source files to the compiler. Something like the following
should work:

On Windows:

rem find all source files
cd ../source
dir /s /b .d > ../examples/http_server/files.txt
cd ../examples/http_server/source
dir /s /b
.d >> ../files.txt
rem remove some files now by hand...

rem build the example
cd ..
set LIBDIR=....\lib\win-i386
set LIBS="%LIBDIR%\event2.lib" "%LIBDIR%\eay.lib"
"%LIBDIR%\ssl.lib" ws2_32.lib
dmd -ofapp.exe -I../../source -Isource -Jviews %LIBS%
@files.txt

On Posix systems:

find all source files

cd ../source
find -name .d > ../examples/http_server/files.txt
cd ../examples/http_server/source
find -name
.d >> ../files.txt

remove some files now by hand...

build the example

cd ..
LIBS=-L-levent_pthreads -L-levent -L-lssl -L-lcrypto
dmd -ofapp -I../../source -Isource -Jviews $LIBS @files.txt

The following files need to be removed from files.txt prior to
compilation as they are currently not compiling successfully:

deimos/ev.d
core/drivers/ev.d
core/drivers/win32.d
core/drivers/winrt.d
stream/base64.d

I just did a quick test on windows, so no guarantee that the
posix version works correctly.

Yes, thank you very much. I am using D-IDE at the moment and
would like to be able to build my application from there. Also
it would be nice to just build the application and deploy it to
the server instead of compilation on the server.

Thanks again.

Are you satisfied with D-IDE? I am looking now for descent IDE.

Thank you
