A new binary has been posted. This contains GDC master up to Nov. 28th. There's one annoyingly significant bug that I am aware of regarding exceptions. Any uncaught exceptions will result in an infinite loop eventually dieing due to stack overflow. However, this is only a minor annoyance and something to keep in mind when using GDB. Installation instructions: 1. Download and install TDM 4.6.1 MinGW64( To a dedicated directory for GDC ) 2. Extract the downloaded archive into the base of the newly installed TDM install. If you've done this before, you can just do step 2. MinGW64 installer http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ You'll need to pull it from the archives. http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%20Installer/Previous/1.1006.0/ GDC binary https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/downloads/gcc-4.6.1-tdm64-1-gdc-20130108-D2.060.7z Please post all issues in D.gnu or on GDC's bugzilla at http://gdcproject.org/bugzilla/

I ran into some issues after following the installation instructions. I was getting the following error: gdc: fatal error: -fuse-linker-plugin, but liblto_plugin-0.dll not found I tracked down the problem to the TDM-GCC installer linked in your post. It appears that even though the installer is from an older version, it will still download the latest one (4.7.1), and not even give you an option to select an older version. Downloading the 4.6.1 archives and unpacking them manually took care of the problem. Here is what I had to download and unpack to get everything working: GCC core: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%204.6%20series/4.6.1-tdm64-1/gcc-4.6.1-tdm64-1-core.tar.lzma/download GCC C++: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%204.6%20series/4.6.1-tdm64-1/gcc-4.6.1-tdm64-1-c%2B%2B.tar.lzma/download MinGW runtime: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/MinGW-w64%20runtime/GCC%204.6%20series/mingw64-runtime-tdm64-gcc46-svn4483.tar.lzma/download GDC: https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/downloads/gcc-4.6.1-tdm64-1-gdc-20130108-D2.060.7z By the way, I noticed this in README-gdc-mingw.txt:Includes D1 and D2 compilers. Defaults to D1, D2 can be used by specifying -v2. -v2 must be used if GDC is used for linking.And in the gdmd perl script:} elsif ( $arg =~ m/^-v1$/ ) { push out, '-fd-version=1';gdc doesn't seem to accept neither -fd-versionX nor -vX switches, so I assume the above are both outdated.

I remember having to unselect that to install an older version. Don't know if it still works.

Is it possible now to rebuild druntime and phobos without building the compiler from source first? If not where are the most up to date instructions for building GDC on windows? Kind Regards Benjamin Thaut

Hi, I'm sure you've seen it anyway, but just in case, I wanted to draw your attention to a 32-bit TLS bug I think I found, which only seems to affect this version. Details are in the "Can GDC make DLLs?" thread: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/kgb15b$2o05$1 digitalmars.com#post-kgbdu5:24b2p:241:40digitalmars.com There's a crash in the 32-bit build of a quick non-DLL test I did too, but it looks different - it's in the GC thread. I have no idea if it's the same bug or not. Thanks for the hard work though - I'm very happy that GDC exists :) On 08/01/2013 20:52, Daniel Green wrote:A new binary has been posted.

This contains GDC master up to Nov. 28th.Hi Daniel, I'd like to try building GDC for MinGW-64 myself, so I could contribute patches. Are the instructions at http://gdcproject.org/wiki/MinGW64 up to date? I noticed it mentions some patches attached to a BitBucket ticket, but the ticket now points to a patch queue, and GDC development had since moved to GitHub.

The patch queue was merged into the mingw branch at https://github.com/venix1/GDC.git I've been working on doing a fresh install in order to update the instructions.
