In my (limited) experience, I think its because it is using msvcrt (which is dynamically linked) instead of libcmt (which is static). The static MS libs cannot be redistributed by 3rd parties thanks to their license, that's why LDC and DMD only come with MinGW-based import libraries depending on an installed MSVC++ runtime. [DMD works with (default) -m32 because that uses Walter's DigitalMars C runtime.]

Haven't come across this myself, but I'd mention that if what
you're interested in is to cross-compile from Posix to Windows,
you should really consider using LDC instead, which has
cross-compilation built-in, and the Windows version comes
bundled with all the necessary libraries to compile and link a
runnable executable without needing to download additional
libraries (unless your own code uses additional libraries).
Some time ago I wanted to compile a Linux app for Windows user,
so I tried using Wine with the Windows version of DMD. It
worked, but it was klunky, and prone to breakages like the ones
you describe. Eventually, I gave up and used LDC instead, and
it's been working very well. Here's my setup:
1) Install LDC, Linux version. Let's say for illustration
purposes this is in /usr/local/ldc/linux.
2) Download and unpack LDC, Windows version. Let's say you put
this in /usr/local/ldc/windows.
3) Edit ldc2.conf for the Linux version (probably in
/usr/local/ldc/linux/etc/ldc2.conf), and add this block to the
bottom of the file, so that LDC will find the right Windows
libraries to link to:
"(i686|x86_64)-.*-windows.msvc":
{
switches = [
"-defaultlib=phobos2-ldc,druntime-ldc",
"-link-defaultlib-shared=false",
];
lib-dirs = [
"/usr/local/ldc/windows/lib",
];
};
4) Compile your program with:
ldc2 -mtriple=x86_64-windows-msvc ... # rest of flags, files,
etc.
This produces a Windows executable that you can run directly on
Windows (or even in Wine) without any additional hassles.

Thanks for that! That certainly helped, but when running the
program on a fresh Windows install, I still get the error "The
program can't start because vcruntime140.dll is missing from your
computer". In my (limited) experience, I think its because it is
using msvcrt (which is dynamically linked) instead of libcmt
(which is static). If I try to specify libcmt like:
ldc2 -mscrtlib=libcmt -mtriple=x86_64-windows-msvc .\file.d
I get:

64-bit compilation in Wine
Hey all, I'm trying to get DMD to compile in x64 under Wine but I'm having issues with: "LLVM ERROR: Could not acquire a cryptographic context: Unknown error (0x80090017) Stack dump: 0. Program arguments: C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\lld-link.exe /NOLOGO test.obj /DEFAULTLIB:phobos64 /OPT:NOICF /LIBPATH:C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\. .\lib64\mingw Error: linker exited with status 1" The file I'm trying to compile is simply a basic hello world with 1 writeln (compiles fine under Windows). Compilation string is simply: "wine64 cmd.exe /c 'dmd -m64 .\test.d'". It works fine if I remove "-m64". I'm using DMD instead of LDC because the resulting x64 binary doesn't rely on vcruntime140.dll or any other DLLs like LDC does (unless someone knows how to remove this restriction in LDC). Am I missing something? It looks like the linker is trying to use cryptographic functions and fatal erroring? Any tips?
