digitalmars.D - Cross Compiling With LDC Under Single OS

Hi, I'm new started the Dlang. I want to cross compile with LDC 
on a single operating system but when I follow the steps in the 
link below, I get a problem:

https://wiki.dlang.org/Cross-compiling_with_LDC

Under Linux;

ldc -mtriple = x86_64-windows-msvc -c foo.d -of = foo.exe

The exe file I created with the command, doesn't work in Windows 
10. Likewise, my Linux code that I compiled under Windows doesn't 
work on Linux.

Can you help me?

Could someone please review whether the instructions on that page are=20

Should Elina try gdc instead? Do others have experience in=20
cross-compiling with gdc?

They are up-to-date.

GDC doesn't support Windows.

Please be more specific, I can't provide any remote help based on 
'it doesn't work'.

Thank you for all response. Dear  kinke, my goal is to create an 
executable file on the Linux operating system that can run on 
Windows. In the first transmission, I reviewed the document 
written for LLVM, but wasn't successful. The command below 
creates the exe file for me but this exe file doesn't work in 
Windows.

ldc -mtriple = x86_64-windows-msvc -c foo.d -of = foo.exe

GDC does not support Windows, so I am trying to compile with 
LLVM. Does LDC support platform independent compilation for D 
language?

I apologize for answering late, I did not have the opportunity to 
write an answer due to my exams.

I meant more specifics wrt. this - what's the error? Not a PE 
executable? Some missing DLL because a Visual C++ runtime 2015+ 
isn't installed?


 ldc -mtriple = x86_64-windows-msvc -c foo.d -of = foo.exe


The Wiki uses `ldc2 -mtriple=x86_64-windows-msvc foo.d`. `-c` 
means 'compile only', so you're effectively compiling a COFF 
object file and naming it `foo.exe`, so no, that won't work.

 language?


Yes, the Wiki page isn't made up. ;)

I'm compiling under in Linux. When I remove -c parameter, I will 
get this error: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7dw9CxG4BJ/

ldc -mtriple=x86_64-windows-msvc foo.d

-----
I'm downloading LDC for Windows release for usage missing 
libraries under Linux. When I include missing library with -L-L= 
parameter, get an error again.

ldc -mtriple=x86_64-windows-msvc -L-L=lib/mingw foo.d -of=foo.exe

I may not have written clearly, I don't have very good English. 
As I mentioned, I just started the D language and my goal is to 
make a very simple D console program workable for Windows.

The first error that you linked to indicate that you're missing the 
standard library and runtime library compiled for Windows. You can get 
those by downloading the Windows version of LDC, unpack it and place the 
files in the lib32/lib64 directory in the lib32/lib64 directory of your 
Linux LDC version. This is available here in the documentation [1].

The second error, is that the same error or a new error? You need to 
include the error in your message so we can see it to be able to help you.
