Installing Derelict with DSSS

I'm having trouble installing Derelict and Tango with DSSS. It keeps throwing a whole bunch of errors:
It gets stuck on:
Error module loader is in file 'derelict\devil\iltypes.d which cannot be read

It does this for several files, and eventually aborts the installation. The command I put in DSSS was:
dsss net install derelict

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, with DMD2...

I'm really new at this, and I'm not too handy with all this command line stuff, so try dumbing down the instructions quite a bit! Smile

Thanks!

I don't think DSSS works with DMD2 and I don't think that net installs works anymore either.

Oh geez...

Any suggestions on getting started with Derelict then? Like I said, I'm a total noob on compiling libraries myself and stuff, but just a shove in the right direction is enough...

Thanks for the reply!

1. Checkout the repository:
svn co http://svn.dsource.org/projects/derelict/branches/Derelict2

2. Compile the libraries:
make -f win32.mak DC=dmd

Then I suggest you use rdmd or something like that.

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks! I'll go the compile-your-own way then.
I'll check out rdmd. Currently, I'm using the CodeBlocks plugin for D, working out awesome so far!
