Cool, David!

Could you decipher for me this:
"Only MinGW is supported out-of-the-box, however."

I can compile on Linux MinGW target, right?

Andrew.

Lose the "PRE", and it works:

Yes, it means that GDC's build system will build i386-mingw cross compiler too. Looks like it is default... It's nothing new GCC can build executables for so many different platforms - it's called cross-compiling.

This is excellent - now I can make native Winblows applications on my Linux box, so I do not need to turn my XP machine on! :)

BRAVO!

Yes, Linux -> MinGW works.  Other targets require more work than configure/make/make install.  If anyone gets another to work, I can add it to the distribution so that it builds automatically.

Fixed.

Looks like this one is not fixed yet:

The work around for this is to compile all files with one command:
  dmd -c t.a a.d b.d

For GDC, you also have to specify the -fall-sources option:
  dmd -c -fall-sources t.a a.d b.d
  gdc -c -fall-sources t.a a.d b.d

I can't compile it on cygwin (haven't tried linux yet). I get:

d/d-builtins.cglue.o(.text+0x1294): In function `handle_vector_size_attribute':
/usr/src/gcc-3.4.1/gcc/d/d-bi-attrs-34.h:1145: undefined reference to `_reconstr
uct_complex_type'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [cc1d.exe] Error 1

gcc version 3.4.1, ld version 2.15.94.

OT: can anybody point me in how to build a cygwin->linux cross compiler? I've tried a couple of times and I'm having problems. TIA.
