digitalmars.D - Compiling with -m64 on Windows uses wrong link location

The problem is, when I compile something with -m64, I get the 
error:
Can't run 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 
10.0\VC\bin\amd64\link.exe', check PATH

It's looking in ...\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0, rather than 
...\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0 which is specified in sc.ini. Is 
there another step that I need to do?

Thanks,

That should work as is. Some ideas:

- you might have another sc.ini in the working directory or your HOME 
directory which is picked up before the one alongside dmd.exe

- for historic reasons LINKCMD64 setting/environment variable might also 
be used, maybe you have set this elsewhere in your sc.ini

If you run dmd with option -v, it will show the used sc.ini and the 
command line used to call the linker.

I only have 1 sc.ini, and -v showed the correct path. Setting the 
LINKCMD64 variable in sc.ini fixed the issue, although it seems 
kind of redundant as I copied LINKCMD and just added 64:

; Windows installer uncomments the version detected
;VC2013 LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\x86_amd64\link.exe
LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\x86_amd64\link.exe

;VC2010 LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\amd64\link.exe
;VC2008 LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\amd64\link.exe

Thanks for that Rainer.

I suspect that you have set the LINKCMD64 variable in your system 
environment from trying earlier versions of dmd before. You can check 
this running "set LINKCMD64" from the command line.


 Thanks for that Rainer.


Good to hear it got you going.
