This forum seems to be plenty good enough as responses do appear to specific questions. Unfortunately it does mean much GDC discussion is not public (as in searchable via google) but that's okay.

We are there if you have more questions Hi Imperatorn It seems like the activity level in the D forums is dropping off quite a bit but development activity continues apace. From the comment above I presume discord is where people are communicating? If so that's unfortunate for me. Discord is not well suited for professional activities as it only allows a single account per phone number and many people already have a personal account on discord. Is there maybe a github discussion area or some other forum besides this one for GDC development that I've overlooked? Thanks any pointers,

Not dissing the Discord server :-) Just noting that it's more suited to real-time discussion.

Try it out and report any bugs: https://github.com/Imperatorn/gcc/releases How are you building this on Windows? Are you doing anything beyond running ./configure in the repo from the mingw-w64 command line and running the build process? I think there probably were some other artifacts related to your build environment that were on your path that were necessary to run the GDC build that you did not package in the release. Sorry, I forgot to say, you cannot currently build it without special configuration. I'll upload a build script later. I just meant running the executables and see what errors you get. I see that I missed to upload some files, I'll fix that. I also want to take the opportunity to thank Iain Buclaw and Adam D Ruppe for making this possible! Stay tuned
