Hey , do you know , by any chance what could cause this problem :
When others try to test my game made with derelict-sdl , the screen is black but the program is running. It's like the graphic part only isn't working.
I tried to include some dlls in the folder. I added some from a D working game I have downloaded. |

It could be absolutely anything. If it were a problem with a missing SDL DLL, Derelict would throw an exception when trying to load it. Without more data, all anyone can do is guess. And even that's hard to do without knowing what your program does.
I suggest you implement some logging in your graphics code to monitor the state of things as it runs. Then examine the output after running on your tester's machines. And make sure that you are testing the return values for errors when calling SDL functions.

Anything ? Why is it working on my computer then ?
I think it's related to sdl image because I have the same kind of problem if I remove the images from the game folder. |

| Maybe you used absolute file paths. |

Are you checking error codes? Are you ensuring that the images are actually loading? What you say here suggests to me that you aren't. It's quite possible that, for whatever reason, the images aren't being loaded on the other machines. Again, all anyone can do here is guess. You need to try debugging your program to figure out what's going on. Logging is a great place to start in this case.
