New to Dylan, reversi example won't build
When you installed Open Dylan, it asked you which external linker you
wanted to use. Though Open Dylan is able to generate native code, it
doesn't include a linker that can combine object code into a DLL or EXE.
It also doesn't include a resource compiler, which takes Windows Resource
source files and compiles them into an object file. The error message you
got arose because there was no resource compiler in your PATH.
The linker that works best is the one that is included with Microsoft
Visual C++ 6.0, but that hasn't been supported in several years. The next
best choice is the Pelles C compiler.
You can download Pelles C from http://www.pellesc.com/. After installing,
you also need to change your environment variables to add "C:\Program
Files\PellesC\bin" to PATH, "C:\Program Files\PellesC\lib;C:\Program Files
\PellesC\lib\Win" to LIB, and "C:\Program Files\PellesC\include;C:
\Program Files\PellesC\include\Win" to INCLUDE.
To choose the Pelles C linker for Open Dylan after installation, choose
"Environment Options..." from the Tools menu. On the Build tab of the
Environment Options dialog, click Browse.. and choose the "x86-win32-
pellesc-build.jam" file.
