Re: dmd, x64 and Windows
No problem. Make sure you follow the latest one because there's another patch you have to use to make stdio work (I've posted this on SO already). I've also added some info on where to get GDB and its manuals. Using GDB works great, the symbols get loaded from the executable when compiled with 'GDC -g file.d'. Here's the latest one: https://gist.github.com/857381

If GDC gets included in the GCC mainline, I wonder if the MinGW and TDM-MinGW teams will start getting interest in D. Of course, this doesn't automatically mean they'll jump on the bandwagon and start supporting D. Afaik the MinGW team dropped support for Java (?), so I don't think they feel they should support every language that GCC supports. Still, this might get people more interested in D.
Re: dmd, x64 and Windows
Well I have some good news, I've finally managed to get GDC working for D2 on Windows (using Msys). I owe it to Ian Buclaw and Daniel Green for all the help. You can download an updated guide here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9218759/gdcbuild_mingw.txt Sorry again for having hijacked this thread. :) OMG, thanks for posting this, Andrej! This is really useful! (Sorry for continuing the thread hijack...)

It takes at least 15 seconds to open the gcc archive with the few thousand source files on windows. And this is trying winrar, 7zip and peazip. Then it takes at least 30 seconds, or more like a minute to extract it. It takes an entire *hour* to build GCC+GDC, and this is with precompiled GMP, MPFR and MPC libraries. This is all done on Msys, of course. I have Ubuntu running in a Virtualbox (with hardware virtualization). It took 2 seconds to open the GCC archive, 4 seconds to extract it, and about 4 minutes to build GMP, MPFR, MPC and then GCC, in that order. I can't tell if this is the fault of MinGW or Msys. (or blame windows, hehe). Anywho, I've succesfully built it on Ubuntu, but since I'm such a linux naab I'm not sure how I'm supossed to install it. I've tried: sudo make DESTDIR=/build/Mingw32 install which apparently installed it in /build/Mingw32, but I can't seem to invoke it: $ gdc The program 'gdc' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gdc What do I have to do to be able to run gdc from within any folder?

If it works, and you would like to make the change permenant, add the above line to the end of the .bashrc file in your home directory.

dmd, x64 and Windows
While I'm delighted that we finally have a basic D2 x64 compiler I can't stop wondering how long it will take till I finally get my hands on it on Windows. God knows I'd have switched to gdc long ago if gcc wasn't such a PITA to compile on Windows! Several attempts over the past year failed. What bothers me most is that the bigger part of the delay is due to an antiquated object format, linker and C runtime (that have caused enough despair and rage since the beginning of time.. er, D) ELF is standard on Linux, Mach-O on Mac. And dmd adheres to that. So isn't Windows' de facto standard COFF in combination with MinGW's ld or VC's link the natural choice?

Re: dmd, x64 and Windows
I've tried to build it on native windows. It seems to build fine, and after I've issued make install it got installed to build/mingw32. But I'm missing libstdc++.dll. I couldn't figure out where to download the dll from, the MinGW sourceforge website is horrible to browse through. I copied the DLL from an existing 4.5.2 MinGW installation. I tried compiling a simple test project: gdc main.d ld.exe: cannot find -lpthread I've already copied these: * binutils 2.20.51 * mingw-runtime 3.18 * w32api 3.14 But maybe I'm missing more runtime libraries. Probably some lib package that has the libstdc++.dll file as well. Any clues?
