Please post all issues in D.gnu or on GDC's bitbucket site https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc

 * Built against TDM GCC 4.6.1:  http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/
 * Built against GDC revision 7e22befef29c.
 * Working TLS support.
 * Updated binutils and mingw runtime for TLS support.
   * new gas directive @secrel32 will generate a constant offset usable
     as an immediate or displacement value.
     Works like posix counterparts @tpoff, @dtpoff, etc.
   * Fixes an error with the mingw runtime related to TLS.
 * 7-zip format for size reasons:  http://7-zip.org
 * Release includes both D versions.
   * -v1(default) compiles for D1.
   * -v2 compiles for D2.
   * The switch must be used for linking as well.
 * Made possible by Iain Buclaw's hard work in maintaining GDC.
 * 64bit and up to date GDC forthcoming.

To install simply extract to you TDM MinGW32 directory.

https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/downloads/gcc-4.6.1-tdm-1-gdc-7e22befef29c-20111205.zip

All MinGW GDC downloads.

Excellent, thanks! Downloading it now.

Great news, but it doesn't link on Windows: https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/issue/277/gdc-2055-tdm-451-linking-error

Thx!

Why is D1 still the default?

Imho the 64 bit version is even more important since gdc is the only option at all to produce Win64 binaries.
(and of course beginning with Win7 everyone should use an x64 OS anyway ;))

perfect.

but why is there a zip version anyway?

Because this is the first release where I felt D2 was capable of being the default and I forgot about it until writing the post.  It also requires some reworking of the changes that enable dual compilers.

I posted with a zip extension in the original post, so rather than letting everyone get an 404 error, I just uploaded a zip file.

I see.
btw, is there something like gdmd for Windoze too?

You can use GDMD with Perl on windoze. I use strawberry perl (http://strawberryperl.com/) and a batch script.

I suggest to make D2 the default.

I have installed the latest TDM GCC in
C:\MinGW

Then I have unpacked the 7-zip over the directories of the MinGW install. 150+ files got overwritten, some executables too.

I have made sure C:\MinGW\bin and C:\MinGW\lib are in the path. C:\MinGW\lib contains libgphobos.a too.

If now I compile a little program using:
gdc -v2 test.d

It probably doesn't find Phobos:

c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/../../../libgphobos2.a(bitmanip.o): In function `D3std8bitmanip8BitArray7opIndexMxFkZb':
C:\crossdev\gdc\v2\build\mingw32\libphobos/../../../gcc-4.6.1/libphobos/std/bitmanip.d:410: undefined reference to `__sync_fetch_and_add_4'
...
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/../../../libgphobos2.a(bitmanip.o):C:\crossdev\gdc\v2\build\mingw32\libphobos/../../../gcc-4.6.1/libphobos/std/bitmanip.d:410: more undefined references to `__sync_fetch_and_add_4' follow

I don't even know what C:\crossdev\ is, I don't have that directory.

Do you know how to improve this situation?

Bye and thank you,

That's the plan.

Debug information.  That's where it was compiled.

> Do you know how to improve this situation?
I had to recompile binutils to enable TLS support.  It appears I messed up some configure options.  I will post once I've fixed the issue and uploaded new binaries.

That would be very helpful, indeed! I don't feel like rewriting all of my makefiles to use GDC's parameter syntax. ;)
