Is it's possible to produce x64 binaries on Windows x64 without installing Visual Studio? DMD do not have linker for x64.

Very impressive. I'm curious, is the work done to catch C++ exceptions separate from Walter's previous efforts with dmd, or does it build on his work in some way?

You can install just the C++ build tools from VS.

DMD do not have linker for x64. You could try using the llvm linker, lld, as noted in the release notes for ldc 1.5: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.5.0 I don't know what's needed to link against functions from the Windows libc though.

John usually submits a pull to homebrew for the betas, may just be behind on this one: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/20580 Looks pretty simple, you or any other brew user could easily submit that too.

As noted in the linked 1.7 release notes, kinke merged ldc's non-MSVC exception-handling with Walter's new DWARF efforts and integrated some work by Rainer for MSVC. |

Could you explain hot to do it? Install LLVM? And than how I could specify what linker should be used?

There's a Docker image which contains cross-compilers [1]. The one targeting Windows is using MinGW, not sure if that's usable. [1] https://hub.docker.com/r/multiarch/crossbuild/ -- /Jacob Carlborg |

Please, I'm tired of explaining this over and over. From LDC's README.txt: `LDC relies on the MS linker and MSVCRT + WinSDK libs.` The first part isn't actually true anymore, `-link-internally` makes LDC link itself via embedded LLD. **But you still need the Windows and Visual C++ runtime libs.**
In the LDC release notes (v1.3 IIRC), you'll find a link to a guide about how to produce Win64 binaries from a Linux host; that'd be applicable on Windows too for people having such a big problem with installing Visual Studio/Build Tools.
