Sorry I don't know how I've managed to miss your message since 
the 11. Maybe it's because the topic was more about Akira's fork 
originally.
The compiler error message means that u_dastworx is missing in 
the "use" clause (it's like D imports). You can try to add it by 
editing u_dastworx.pas.

Note that the problem wont be fixed.

1. next version, v3.9.0, doesn't use dastworx anymore but rather 
a library, compiled with LDC.
2. I don't support Windows anymore so people have to submit their 
fixes if they want dexed to continue working on Windows. This can 
be done by sending me patches by email (clone the gitlab project, 
look at the git history to find my mail) or gitlab merge_requests.
