I never seem to be able to remember how to get 64-bit going on windows.

I've extracted the zip for DMD 2.064.2, I ran the "vcvarsall.bat", but 
trying to compile this trivial hello world:

import std.stdio;
void main()
{
	writeln("Hello");
}


 [path_to]dmd.2.064.2\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd -m64 hello.d


Gives me this:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'shell32.lib'
--- errorlevel 1104

On a slightly more complicated program (a simple mysql-native test 
program), I get this:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ws2_32.lib'
--- errorlevel 1104

I also tried uncommenting the appropriate line in sc.ini:

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

But that had no effect.

That's not right. If you're building for x64, the LIB paths 
should contain amd64 library directories.

Are you running the vcvarsall batch file with the right parameter 
("amd64")?

I don't have VC2008 so I unfortunately could not test while I was 
working on the installer/sc.ini update. Rainer says 2008 does 
work though. With modern VC there is a vcvars32.bat and 
vcvars64.bat to choose whether to use the 32-bit or 64-bit 
toolchain. What is the value of %WindowsSdkDir% within your 
vcvars.bat command prompt?

Hmm, that's strange, %WindowsSdkDir% isn't set. I thought vcvarsall.bat 
was supposed to set up all of that.

According to this post[1], he is using VC2005 (VS8), not 2008. 
2005 comes with its own copy of the SDK, under VC/PlatformSDK.

It's also not set if I go into VS's [idiotic] "Visual Studio Command

IIRC this variable is read from the registry by vcvars*.bat, but 
uninstalling any SDK deletes the registry entry. So if you had multiple 
SDK versions installed, but removed one, the variable will no longer be set.

Hmm, I hadn't ever uninstalled it.

Regardless, *now* I've just uninstalled and reinstalled the Windows SDK, 
and re-ran vcvarsall.bat. The %WindowsSdkDir% is now set, but I'm still 
getting the same problem.

The %WindowsSdkDir% is set to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft 
SDKs\Windows\v8.0A", but there doesn't appear to be much in there (Just 
a "Bootstrapper\Packages" directory with not much inside it either). I 
don't think it installed correctly. There doesn't appear to be any other 


In any case, the issue I was hunting down turned out to be Posix-related 
instead of 64-bit-related anyway, so I'm not going to deal with this 
anymore for the time being.

Nick, did you notice my reply from 4 days ago?

http://forum.dlang.org/post/lumcuftlvokawuneqftb forum.dlang.org

I believe that under certain conditions, the MS linker will just 
skip over libraries of certain bitness, so I suspect that might 
be your problem.

I don't think the platform/Windows SDK is related to the problem 
in your first post because Visual Studio 2005 (VS8), which is 
what you had in your paths, comes with its own copy (the 
PlatformSDK directory).
