I went ahead and uploaded the most recent GDC 5.2 for windows to my site. You can download it here: http://botcode.net/gdc-5.2.0+2.066.1.7z

Hope this helps.

Thanks! I appreciate it. Where did you get it or how did you compile it?

Sure thing, hope it helps. After a quick history grep i found this:
ftp://ftp.gdcproject.org/binaries/5.2.0/x86_64-w64-mingw32/gdc-5.2.0+2.066.1.7z

Cheers!

So basically the problem is that these binaries are simply not linked on the download page.

Could someone please explain the reason why the windows binaries are not linked on the download page? Is this because they are not stable, have major issues? If so I would rather not use them, if this is just an oversight, then I will try them.

Related question, are there any limitations of the GDC compiler when compared to DMD? besides it lagging behind 1 or 2 releases. Any major limitations? How about on ARM arch?

Thank you in advance for any answers.

These releases are alpha quality and IIRC the GC is not working 100% correctly. So you probably don't want to use GDC on windows ;-)

AFAIK there are no real limitations. ARM is 100% supported, so it should work like any other 32 bit architecture in D. One major difference is that GDC does not provide DMD like code coverage, we use the GCC/gcov tools instead.
