Code::Blocks configuration

Can anyone give me, or point me to directions for setting up Code::Blocks to use the DMD (on Windows) and GDC (on Mac) compilers. Installing the IDE was easy, and I see a lot of people using it for their D development, but I can't find instructions on how to setup the compilers, syntax highlighting, and debugging specifically for D.

Thanx

Ok, thanx. That answers my question. I need to use one of the nightly builds.

I haven't foung GVIM on the VIM website. What's the difference between GVIM and VIM? Does regular VIM have D Syntax Highlighting, or do you have to add a highlighting file?

Also, what are you using for debugging? I originally asked about XCode because I'd like to use that if possible, but I could go more Unix-y and use DDD or something.

Brian.

GVim is "graphical" Vim and, depending on the distribution, is either bundled with Vim, or is a separate executable. Best read the distribution blurb for more information.

GVim and Vim are pretty much identical except that GVim spawns a window and allows for menus and a few additional mouse features.

Note that unless you have used Vim before, it can be quite daunting as it is a powerful, but not so user-friendly, editor.

I use (G)Vim 7 and it has built in highlighting for D.

For debugging, I use WinDbg (on windows) I have not tried D on Linux yet.

There is also Ddbg but I have not tried it yet.

Myron.
