This is likely a simple issue, maybe something to do with Tango or the latest version of ArcLib, but what's going on with this:

I copied the code from http://svn.dsource.org/projects/arclib/branches/api/arc02/arc.input.html to use as a test for my install. I'm using Tango and the Tango ArcLib v2, both installed with DSSS. When I go to build the above test program, I get this:

Code:
c:\D\project>dsss build
main.d => main
+ C:\D\dsss\bin\rebuild.exe -Idsss_imports\ -I. -S.\ -IC:\D\dsss\include\d -SC:\
D\dsss\lib\  -IC:\D\dsss\include\d -SC:\D\dsss\lib  -oqdsss_objs\D  main.d -ofma
in
main.d(12): Error: undefined identifier SDL_QUIT
main.d(47): Error: undefined identifier module input.modHit
main.d(47): Error: undefined identifier LSHIFT
main.d(47): Error: function expected before (), not module input.modHit of type
void
main.d(48): Error: undefined identifier module input.modDown
main.d(48): Error: undefined identifier LSHIFT
main.d(48): Error: function expected before (), not module input.modDown of type
 void
Command C:\D\dsss\bin\rebuild.exe returned with code 1, aborting.
Error: Command failed, aborting.


I tried using the old ArcLib tutorial and got errors about Point and Color not being supported types as well, so it seems like I'm not importing something I should be or something. What's going on?

This, unfortunately, is an outdated documentation issue. SDL_QUIT should be ARC_QUIT, the functionality of modHit is contained in keyPressed(ARC_LSHIFT) and similar. I've committed a documentation fix.

Try importing arc.types, it publicly imports modules with the most often used types.

I hope that helped! Smile

You have just discovered an issue with outdated documentation examples, sorry. Sad The tutorials may be slightly out of date as well.

Neither of us have enough time to really double check all the doc examples and make sure they work.

With that said,... the generated ddoc files should be reliable (besides the example code) as if you browse the arc.input functions in the docs, you will see there is no 'modHit' function anymore. All the equivalent example code that will work can be found here:

http://svn.dsource.org/projects/arclib/branches/arc02/tango/unittest/

Here is the specific file you are looking for: http://svn.dsource.org/projects/arclib/branches/arc02/tango/unittest/input.d

Have fun! Smile

Thanks a lot for the help guys, that resolves it. No worries about documentation, it's hard to keep up development and document at the same time.

Thank you also for the unit test link. They built just fine, so I look forward to using them as reference and tutorial.

Hmm... except they don't run. That's weird. "Text" runs, shows a little message in the console. The other ones, though, don't even show a GLWindow, let alone start showing anything else. They just show a blank line for a second, the drop back to command line. Any thoughts on that?
