Good morning,

How would one go about building gdc on windows. The last time I did this it failed. If you wish I can fire it up and tell you where it failed.

I am on windows with mingw. I used gcc 3.4.5 and then ended up thinking wow, this compiler version may not build gdc (cause I tried that). So I then decided let's update my compiler version to 4.1.2. Then compile the C and C++ compiler sources with the gdc mod. It fails everytime. I would love to have gdc on windows. I will likely use it when I transfer my computer to an x64 non-windows OS.

If the build failed on phobos/gcc/deh.d, you can get the fix in the latest svn version.

Okay, I will look into it as spare time approaches :-)

It failed, I used the svn version from this morning; an attached file shows my failing make command and my working configuration line (in that order in the file).

I just want to get it working on windows. What configure line did you use, make?

Ugh, I have not been maintaining the Windows port... This and another problem have now been fixed in SVN.  I actually tried building *on* Windows this time, so it should work for you.
