I wasn't looking at anything that was to do with building LDC on Windows, so I guess I just didn't look. I wanted a binary download install process. LDC came down fine, but it was then a question of getting MinGW-w64. The MinGW-w64 installer only offers seh and sjlj as options it doesn't offer dw2. I probably would have read the README eventually, but I wasn't in the frame of mind of doing this: I just wanted to test something on Windows quickly and give the machine back. I am therefore a bad sample for worrying about making things clear! :-) On Linux, I happily build LDC from a Git repository clone, I have even got it all working on OSX as well. I just don't do Windows… but for the SCons D tools Windows tests need running… -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
