Hi,
I play around with the new windows 10 feature to run a linux

-> Installing dmd is working fine with the command
curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd

source ~/dlang/dmd-2.071.1/activate

dmd --version.
-> Compiling a hello world works, linking fails
"dmd test -c" creates a test.o file
but "dmd test" fails with error:

Do you have an idea how to fix the linker issue?
Kind regards

Just like on a regular linux distro, you need to have installed
standard development tools such as a C compiler toolchain. Since
the install script on dlang's homepage is not a deb package it
doesn't verify if those dependencies are fulfilled.
I think running "sudo apt-get install build-essential" in
bash.exe should do it (install C compiler and a "cc" alias to it).
The other option is to download the Ubuntu/Debian x86_64 .deb
package and do "sudo dpkg -i" on it:
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.071.1/dmd_2.071.1-0_amd64.deb and it will find the missing dependencies, so you can later install them, like described here: http://superuser.com/questions/196864/how-to-install-local-deb-packages-with-apt-get
