I am using DFL successfully with DMD 2.062. One just needs to take sources from here:
https://github.com/Rayerd/dfl
Set correct path to dmd in makelib.bat, then run go.bat.
It compiles fine with DMD 2.060, but 2.061 and later complain about a place in
environment.d where a couple of "goto case" should be added. With this little change DFL builds fine and works well.

Yes, what do you need so badly that cannot be done with a 32bit app?

I just though it was wrong to say that the common user seems to be forgotten. Please help and contribute instead. I'm not staying that I don't want 64bit support. It has not yet happened. It's all about time.

I wish we had std.gui

And std.audio as well for that matter. Or std.media. Something like that.

I just saw this rep updated a few days ago, now it should build just fine with latest DMD without manual changes to the source.

Use libraries, I told you. (+ performance + ram + optimizations ...)

I just want to point out what's the problem. I had this problem too with dwt.
And I guess it's a common problem for all 64bit users :)

Of course we'll follow development news about 64bit support :)
