This should be just what I need. Thanks!

Maybe you can help with the implementation in LDC? This is one of the most-wanted features.

Well, what needs to be done yet?

Yes, that would be great!

On the 2.064 branch, I already incorporated Martin's DMD/druntime work regarding ModuleInfo emission/lookup into our codegen. This should already go quite a long way towards runtime loading. What's left at this point is testing and ironing out the bugs that are undoubtedly still in there.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

David pointed already to the merge-2.064 which already contains some work.
I think this commit discussion provides a lot of background:

Hi Steve,

I uploaded a new x86-version - this time as 32bit build.

The md5 sums are:

955ccbd98dfa7f8a4e63a8094794e92c  ldc2-0.12.1-linux-x86.tar.gz
a9a865c211252e878e2e0764d3c4c469  ldc2-0.12.1-linux-x86.tar.xz

Thanks again for pointing out the problem!

Regards,
Kai

just installed the mingw package to windows 7 after mingw 4.7.2, and I get the following on attemping to compile an empty main function:

what might this be about?

Which package did you use? There is a difference between the mingw.org and mingw-w64 projects, and I don't know whether the former incorporates the required functionality yet. Could you try the mingw-w64 release linked in the LDC readme?

probably not. This is a 32bit system

The mingw-w64 project also offers builds for 32-bit Windows.

Just try the one linked in the readme that came with the binary package – if such a file mentions a required dependency in *BIG* *LETTERS* *WITH* *STARS*, there is usually a reason for it. ;)
