I bet it works if you invoke LDC outside bash. bash may tamper with environment variables, I've had a similiar issue with a bash shipped with PortableGit for Windows (C:\... => /C/...).

[snip I see mention of a "vcvarsall.bat" file that might set my paths correctly, but this file is not found on my system. LDC's amd64.bat script should complain about it not being able to find "vcvarsall.bat". I see mention of a VCINSTALLDIR variable which is not set on my system. That's expected, that variable is set by one of VS's batch scripts. -Johan

Are you sure? The path should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat I use MSYS2 frequently, but not with D or the Visual Studio tools, so I can't speak to anything specific in that regard. However, in my programs menu in the Visual Studio 2015 folder are several command prompt shortcuts which are preconfigured to set the environment for the VS tools. I suggest you open one of those and see if you can build anything with ldc, then go from there.

I read some scary messages about this error in other parts of the forum from about a year ago. Hopefully the solution is easier than what I read in that thread. And I should mention that the old issue you're talking about was a side effect of a big change in Visual Studio 2015 over previous versions that DMD was unable to handle. Once DMD got caught up, the problem went away. I don't know that LDC was ever affected by it.
Visual Studio Linker Problem
I am working my way up to building NanoVG per my previous post. I am able to compile hello world using dmd2. I am running in cygwin because I understand bash way better than cmd.exe. I am unable to compile hello world using ldc2. I am interested in ldc because I am interested in compiling to different arch-es and I happen to be a FreeBSD guy which uses LLVM by default. I figure that what I learn in LDC under windows will be portable for me. I received this error: $ ldc2 hello.d Using Visual C++: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libucrt.lib' Error: `C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /s /c "C:\Users\jcw\Documents\Projects\Programming\dlang\ldc2-1.1.0-beta3-win64-msvc\bin\amd64.bat link.exe"` failed with status: 1104 The file "libucrt.lib" is found in several VS folders.
