Glad to hear that wx2.8 and wx2.9 are both supported.
GUI library in D(2) like DFL,DWT,gtkD and QtD all these I have tried to build turns out it is not so difficult.However wxD is the one I never ever build successfully under windows,yes,maybe this is not so difficult to others here.
It would be grateful for someone to write a step by step guideline for build wxD under different platform,the one I would like see is dmd2.056/dmc/mingw under windows with wx2.9.3 as it has wxWebView.It would be nice as well if somebody would like to share his build package.With 7-zip I think it won't be too big to transfer on the web.
