try to install Tango+D2 but compile with error symbol undefined (Window)

Question

I try to use Tango and Phobo together in D2 and I downloaded the package from link and follow its installation process.

But it has only Linux installation but not windows.

This is what I do.

1. Visual-D and DMD already installed. link
2. I save the file to c:\Tango-D2-d2port

3. modify my C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\sc.ini as followed

   [Version] version=7.51 Build 020

   ; environment for both 32/64 bit

   [Environment]

   DFLAGS= -IC:\Tango-D2-d2port\ -L-LC:\Tango-D2-d2port\ "-I%@P%....\src\phobos" "-I%@P%....\src\druntime\import"

   ; optlink only reads from the Environment section so we need this redundancy ; from the Environment32 section (bugzilla 11302)

   LIB="%@P%..\lib"

   [Environment32]

   LIB="%@P%..\lib"

   LINKCMD=%@P%\link.exe

   [Environment64]

   LIB="%@P%..\lib64"

   DFLAGS=%DFLAGS% -L/OPT:NOICF

   LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\link.exe

4. I compile my code using following shell script file and I use dmd2\windows\bin\shell.exe to execute.

   DMD=C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd

   DFLAGS=

   $(DMD) Main.d -debug -L+C:\Tango-D2-d2port\libtango-dmd

5. My sample code from the installation page mentioned above.

   import tango.io.Stdout;

   void main()

   {

   Stdout("Hello from Tango!").nl;
   

   }

6. error message.

   shell 1.05

   C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd Main.d -debug -L+C:\Tango-D2-d2port\libtango-dmd

I have been trying for 1-2 weeks already and this is the best I can get after I looked up many places for reference but are all futile.

Answer 1

It works now. 1. I have to use the one-click installation instead of using the zip file 2. the correct version: DFLAGS=-IC:\Tango-D2-d2port\ -L+C:\Tango-D2-d2port\ "-I%@P%....\src\phobos" "-I%@P%....\src\druntime\import"

there is no double -L as described in the tango installation website. It should be a typo. 3. $(DMD) Main.d -debug -L+C:\Tango-D2-d2port\libtango-dmd.lib <-- better to add .lib to specify which file.

Thank you.
