I tried a last time before and I managed to make it work not completely but at least I can see a hello world application on the console:


$ gdc -o main.exe main.d
$ ./main.exe
Hello D-World!

It's late now but I have some questions and feedback about it.

Feel free to ask any open questions but please not that GDC on windows is unmaintained, unsupported and any many ways broken. If you want to work on D projects on Windows you're better off with DMD and LDC for now.

When you say "in many ways" what are exactly the problems I might encounter ?

Nobody ever ran unit tests or the test suite for GDC windows so it's hard to say. But all more advanced code could cause linker errors, Fibers are likely broken, Threads could be broken, std.stdio/std.file might have problems. Basically everything which has got a OS-specific implementation. Portable stuff like std.uuid/std.digest OTOH should work fine.
