Could someone please list some workarounds?

I am trying to compile a demo app from gtkd. I tried compiling gtkd using dub with --build=plain option and still got that error when compiling the demo app. Using the latest dmd.

Thanks in advance.

As far as i know the error is caused by the debug information, and using `--build=plain` for dub used to fix that, but that might have changed.

You could try building gtkD with the windows build script: `rdmd Build.d`

Or if possible build the 64bit version witch doesn't use optlink.

I ended up downloading LDC and it worked after downloading MS C++ build tools. But now I am get errors compiling vibe.d, I simply added vibe-d as dependency to the 'dub init'.
