Trying to cross-compile a hello world program for Linux on 
Windows with the command **dmd -os=linux main.d** which gives no 
output on the command line but there is an error:

```
C:\tmp\cross_compilation_d\linux>dmd --version

C:\tmp\cross_compilation_d\linux>dmd -os=host main.d

C:\tmp\cross_compilation_d\linux>echo %ErrorLevel%
0

```

How would you set it up, if it can be set up?
