instead of the TDM x64 (labeled "experimental" in setup) . Could that
be the issue?
The GDC I've used is:
gcc-4.6.1-tdm64-1-gdc-232cd89d90b4-20120128.7z
The TDM setup:
tdm64-gcc-4.6.1.exe
libgmp-3.dll is then installed to
MinGW64\libexec\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.6.1\ (and so is
libppl_c-4.dll)
Okay, well I got that package, and it does seem to have the full list of dll's I need (there were about 5 more), but gdc still won't work:
> gdc main.d
gdc: fatal error: -fuse-linker-plugin, but liblto_plugin-0.dll not found compilation terminated.
that dll was in there too, and it is certainly present in my path, but it continues to complain... :/
Okay, I managed to make it work by just transplanting the whole gdc distribution directly into a functioning MinGW64 installation. There must have been weird relative pathing built into the tools, so it didn't find the DLL's even though they were present in the path.
I really think the next binary GDC release should carefully have all those DLL's included, so it actually like, works.
I'd say the point of a binary release is for windows users who don't want to know anything about linux or gcc toolchain issues can just use it and get to work :)
