IIRC gcc will be updated with it later this year. Iain Buclaw 
would know more about this tho.

Update:
There will soon be a native Windows gdc build w native druntime! 
Wait for it :)

That's cool :). Do you have any idea though when? Are you working 
on the native Windows GDC build?

I'm working in parallell with Adam Ruppe on it. Iain has a patch 
that we're looking at. Time wise, maybe a couple of weeks? A 
month?

We technically have native gdc for Windows already, but we want 
it everything to "just work" TM.

Just FYI, we're getting closer, but have some stuff not working 
properly with std.stdio.

You can use it now but with printf:

Well I had issues running the compiler so I cannot give you 
meaningful feedback.

I downloaded all files on the release page and placed them in a 
directory.

At first I ran into a System Error on Windows, where a dialog box 
opened up and said "The code execution cannot proceed because 
libwinpthread-1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may 
fix this problem." Then I copied and pasted the 
libwinpthread-1.dll from my Mingw64 MSYS2 installation (it has 
GCC 10 though so that may or may not be cause of the following 
problem). Then I had the following errors trying to use your 
release:

B:\D\GDC-BETA>gdc.exe main.d

The PATH needs to include the normal mingw64 bin path as well as 
the path for gdc.

Though I haven't tried the download here I got mine successfully 
building and running from the same source code..

Well I do have mingw64 on my path, but his build does not work. I 
might try to build GDC from source at a later time to test the 
release.

These are the steps you need to follow:

1. Download MSYS2 (https://www.msys2.org/) or "choco install 
msys2" if you have chocolatey

2. Start msys2 and paste the following:
wget 
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Imperatorn/7d37f22140ea5b2c80dee5a86ffff2a3/raw/761ea945c28586f5c6bbc2e09d93a
7383701da8/build.sh && ./build.sh

3. Wait :)

4. Pray...

5. Celebrate!? The build script has hopefully run and will open 
the bin directory with explorer

Very good job. I am playing around with it. I am not so much 
familiar with GDC. Looks like there is no something like "rdmd" 
in /opt/mingw64/bin? I want to test it to build dub.

Yes. "hello world" compiles and runs. Now I am trying to compile 
dub. I found https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDMD. but I 
decided to use dub for building dub with
```somefolder/bin/dub.exe build --compiler=gdc ``` which is 
easier for me.

it complained about missing d21 executable. So, I copied it (~430 
mb) from gcc-source/build/gcc into /opt/mingw64/bin which is in 
my $PATH.

Now it says:
```d
dub 1.25.0+commit.17.g79e312d0: building configuration

The below is the output of "gdc -print-search-dirs" command. As 
you can see, there are search paths beginning with "d:/msys64". I 
think they should be /d/msys64 or just /msys64 in msys2. That is 
the problem.

```gdc -print-search-dirs | sed '/^lib/b

Did you install msys on D:? Does it work if you manually supply

Actually, I did a workaround by supplying the LIBRARY_PATH

The server code in Adam's socket tutorial:

```d
gdc test.d -o test-L/opt/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib -lws2_32 
-lwsock32

Good catch, we have some more patches coming. But I've had a NDE 
aka mancold so not so active. Iain is working hard to get gcc 11 
ready. If the gods are with us I might have time to try build the 
latest tonight or tomorrow.

Thank you for your valued efforts. I would like to report some 
additional results of my tests. I could also compile dub by 
adding "gdruntime" "gphobos" "wsock32" "ws2_32" in dub.sdl. I 
don't know if it is expected, but it looks like GDC does not link 
Phobos automatically as LDC does. If I am not wrong g++ also 
expects c++ runtime must be linked explicitly with -lstd++. And, 
I tried a simple SDL2 based dub project but I got a Segmentation 
fault during compilation.

Currently these seem to not be correctly linked in libphobos:
process.d needs shell32.lib
advapi32.d needs advapi32.lib
winsock2.d needs ws2_32
socket.d needs ws2_32.lib and wsock32.lib

Since gcc doesn't support pragma lib we have to fix those (it's 
used in the sources)

Yes, I saw those definitions in the sources of Phobos and thought 
that they might be the reason. libphobos shouldn't have relied on 
those pragmas. In the current situation, each compiler somehow 
has to support them. I see here[1] that LDC supports them.

 The PATH needs to include the normal mingw64 bin path as

 Well I do have mingw64 on my path, but his build does not 
 work. I might try to build GDC from source at a later time to 
 test the release.


 To be clear, I tried it with mingw64 on my path and with a 
 clean environment (running command prompt without mingw64 on 
 my path).


 These are the steps you need to follow:

 1. Download MSYS2 (https://www.msys2.org/) or "choco install 
 msys2" if you have chocolatey

 2. Start msys2 and paste the following:
 wget 
 https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Imperatorn/7d37f22140ea5b2c80dee5a86ffff2a3/raw/761ea945c28586f5c6bbc2e09d93a
7383701da8/build.sh && ./build.sh

 3. Wait :)

 4. Pray...

 5. Celebrate!? The build script has hopefully run and will open 
 the bin directory with explorer


The build script ran successfully! :)

I tried it out with a few console programs and a program I made a 
forum post about earlier 
(https://gist.github.com/preetpalS/d2482d6ec91eb8147e6cff43ab197ed5) and
everything was working when compiling with GDC on Windows.

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.

 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

 Just FYI, we're getting closer, but have some stuff not 
 working properly with std.stdio.

 You can use it now but with printf:

 That's great. Thanks for the progress update.


 Just got a version working with std.stdio as well. Try it out 
 and report any bugs:

I am not familiar with tooling related to linking but I have had 
success troubleshooting library loading issues with 
https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies in the past when dealing 
with MSYS2 Mingw64. If you use it from the command line 
environment that used to build an executable or library, you can 
see what dependencies are being loaded and which ones cannot be 
loaded.
