I am new to this whole thing, but i followed the instructions to install it, and it said it installed ok, but there is no D Project when i go New -> Project. Am I missing a step? If I go into the Product Configuration, Descent 0.4.3.20070907 is listed

Eclipse Version: 3.3.1.1

found the odd problem - i was using the built in zip in Windows XP to extract eclipse. which i did several times and it didnt let me use descent. i then used 7zip, and it worked?

so ... if anyone else gets weird problems (no error messages, just some things dont work) with Eclipse, don't use XP's zip

You can update to the latest version: 0.4.4.

Enjoy!

Ok I finally managed to get descent installed with the new 4.4, but I can't compile. Is there any instructions on how to go from start all the way to able to compile D code? I really want to get into D, but after 3 weeks, still cannot get anything working.

Also all the mangos and tangos and phoboes ... its just confusing.

Anyone got any recommendations?

You should better ask these questions in the D.learn newsgroup. As for Descent, it currently doesn't compile programs for you. You can configure an exteranl tool, though: http://dsource.org/projects/descent/wiki/CompilingPrograms

Is there any information on setting up descent on a Linux installation of eclipse? I've got some trouble and am looking for a decent tutorial.
