Sorry, I forgot to say, you cannot currently build it without special configuration. I'll upload a build script later.

I just meant running the executables and see what errors you get. I see that I missed to upload some files, I'll fix that.

I also want to take the opportunity to thank Iain Buclaw and Adam D Ruppe for making this possible!

Stay tuned

These are the steps you need to follow:

1. Download MSYS2 (https://www.msys2.org/) or "choco install msys2" if you have chocolatey

2. Start msys2 and paste the following:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Imperatorn/7d37f22140ea5b2c80dee5a86ffff2a3/raw/761ea945c28586f5c6bbc2e09d93a27383701da8/build.sh && ./build.sh

3. Wait :)

4. Pray...

5. Celebrate!? The build script has hopefully run and will open the bin directory with explorer

Very good job. I am playing around with it. I am not so much familiar with GDC. Looks like there is no something like "rdmd" in /opt/mingw64/bin? I want to test it to build dub.

I think there should be a gdmd executable. My compilations process did not yield one.

Did you succeed in building?

I can take a look in a couple of hours, in the meantime, read this:
