I've never understood this. DMD started out on Windows exclusively. Linux and other platforms came later. It has a Windows installer that will find the MS tools if you need to use them, the zip package works out of the box, the compiler ships with a minimal (and admittedly outdated) set of Win32 libraries that work with OPTLINK... Where does this impression come from that Windows is a second-class citizen?
The Windows build for DMD, etc. seems to require tools that Microsoft no longer distributes publicly. I asked about this, but no one replied... http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]
