Yes, that is the windows-only dwt.

Sorry, that won't work with the package you downloaded. :(

I fully understand this and sympathize.  We need to get things cleaned 
up.  The DWT project is the process of a cleanup and reorganization to 
simplify (and unify) the whole DWT chain of projects.

I'm sorry that it's not so easy at the moment; the new dwt is still 
early in it's development stage.  The linux version is available, but 
it's likely not in a state that would meet your needs.  Although we hope 
to make it so soon. :)

GtkD (also on dsource) is available... It should build and install using 
dsss.

You may like to try checking into wxD which is an wxWidgets binding for D:

http://wxd.sourceforge.net/

It appears to be supported for windows, linux, and Mac OS X.

Also have a look here for a list of different GUI libraries that are or 
were available for D:

And... please keep an eye on dwt's status.  If all goes well, it should 
turn into an exciting cross-platform tool for D GUI development. :)
