We don't release a Win64 build of dmd, so you don't need to build this target.
There are files to support Win64 builds, but they are for those adventurous
souls who want to compile dmd with Visual Studio.

I'm having problems building on win7x64. Anyone ever encountered this issue

Observing the dmd/src, druntime, and phobos directories I noticed that dmd/src
does not contain an win64.mak file but the others do. This shouldn't matter
though, I thought, because when building dmd I specify MODEL=64. I don't think
it made a difference.
I took a look at win32.mak and noticed a reference to PVS-Studio. I didn't
have it installed
PVS-Studio is a source code analysis tool. We don't have PVS-Studio anymore, so
just ignore that.
but all attempts to compile dmd prior succeeded. Just out curiosity I went
ahead and installed it but now I can't compile dmd. I get the following:
LINK : warning LNK4004: unrecognized option '/p512'; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4004: unrecognized option '/c'; ignored
These are because win32.mak is designed to build dmd with the win32 tools, not
the Microsoft win64 tools. The errors you see are from the Microsoft linker
being passed command line switches meant for the Digital Mars linker.
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'frontend.lib'
--- errorlevel 1104
I'm at a lost at the moment. I guest a better question to ask is does anyone
working on Win64 regularly build and use dmd from source? If so, can you
provide the steps to properly configure my system?
Thanks,
Andrew

This error can happen if one attempts to link together files compiled with
different memory models - but that shouldn't be happening. I don't know what
is going wrong here.
What snn.lib are you linking with? Also, can you post your message to the beta
list, perhaps someone else has seen this issue too?

Walter,
I've made some progress with building the betas. I've successfully built dmd
and created the required zips for each platform with the exception of Win32.
I need to be able to build from head in order to get this release built.
I followed instructions at wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD but, while everything
seems to work, I get errors about a missing linker when building the unittest
or any other d program. Trying to pull link.exe from a different release and
staging it doesn't work... I get a slew of errors in the form:
..\druntime\lib\druntime.lib(thread)
Error 35: Cannot Reach TARGET from FRAME at Relative 00041H from Segment
_TEXT
Segment _TEXT
FRAME = Frame of Group FLAT 000000H
TARGET = External Symbol
_D4core6thread6Thread7sm_thisC4Core6thread6Thread 93D24H
FIXUP Type = Unknown Type
--- errorlevel 1342
This is my last major roadblock. I've merged the 2.065 branch back to master
and created a new "release" branch. Last thing left to do is this combine the
zips and stage them so I can make the installers.
Any suggestions on what needs to be modified in wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD
to set up a working dmd environment?
Regards,
Andrew
