Here are the command and the output.

The build script ran successfully! :)

I tried it out with a few console programs and a program I made a forum post about earlier (https://gist.github.com/preetpalS/d2482d6ec91eb8147e6cff43ab197ed5) and everything was working when compiling with GDC on Windows.

Cool! We'll try and fix those winsock problems as well.

Thanks, what can we do to reproduce this? Just try do anything socket-related?

The server code in Adam's socket tutorial:
http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2019_11_11.html#server

```d
gdc test.d -o test-L/opt/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib -lws2_32 -lwsock32

./test
```

Looks like a name mangling problem. I don't know.
