Anybody using DSFML/DSFML2?

Why would you want to build it?
I thought building the samples with xfbuild worked for you?

Sorry for that brainfart. I initially thought I needed an import library, but DSFML uses dynamic loading but on application startup (is that correct?).

So I don't need to create any import libraries (and really I wasn't creating an import lib, that build script only creates a static library..).

It's really interesting how you've combined the use of mixins with DLL loading.

The build errors for the dfl example seem to be coming from DFL unable to link to DSFML modules, I dunno why.. But expanding the build call from dfl and using it with xfbuild instead will compile the example.

I get a window with a nice 3d cube, and I can select mouse or keyboard input, but nothing seems to react to the mouse or keyboard. But at least the example doesn't crash.

Anyway, here's my batch file to build samples\dfl\dflsample.d:

Code: [Select]


@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "files="
set "derelict_libfiles="

REM ~ Configure these as needed:
set "dfl_import=C:\dfl\import"
set "dfl_lib=C:\DMD\dmd2\windows\lib\dfl.lib"
set "derelict_dir=..\..\..\lib\derelict"

for %%i in (*.d) do set files=!files! %%i
for %%i in (%derelict_dir%\*.lib) do set derelict_libfiles=!derelict_libfiles! %%i

@echo on

xfbuild %files% +v +xcore +xstd +o..\bin\ -release -O -inline -I..\..\..\import -I%dfl_import% -L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0 %dfl_lib% -version=DFL_EXE %derelict_libfiles%

Yeah, dll loading is done dynamically at program startup. It's a bit of a construction site. Some time ago I thought about replacing it with static linking but in the end I do need function pointers to do the magic behind simulated class inheritance (see Drawable implementation)

Thank you for your work on the DFL example. I don't have much time at the moment but while still try to fold your changes in

Hi

I'm starting to get interested in trying to make something in D.

I wanted to use something like SFML so it's a good thing that there is a port!

Now I just need to know if it's compatible with the last dmd? I want to get with D2.

[Trass3r]

It's targeted at D2.

[Klaim]

Perfect! Thanks!

Although I think you should keep on developing this, one day when D gets more fame surely this will come in handy!
