Due to the use of a newer runtime than TDM64-GCC it is **recommended** to install a copy specifically for GDC.

Features
 **ALPHA** As in, D2.058 support is still new.
 * D2.058
 * Debug information available using gnu-debuglink.
 * Removed D1(Did anyone use this featuer?).
   * Due to current system breaking with repository changes and D1
     being discontinued at the end of the year.
 * binutils with TLS patches
 * mingw-w64-runtime with TLS and stdio fixes.
 * GCC 4.6.1 with TLS patches

Installation instructions:

1. Download and install TDM MinGW64
2. Extract the downloaded archive into the base of the newly installed TDM install.

If you've done this before, you can just do step 2.

Known issues:
 * May break TDM64 C++.
 * Field-less structs will throw a null this exception.  When formatted by std.format.  runnable/test23.d

Hooray! *does a jig*

Cheers bloke! :)

Decided to play with GDC a bit. Strange.
I get :
C:\Users\Demon\AppData\Local\Temp\ccs8AWDr.o:fred_r.d:(.text+0x2789): undefined reference to `_Dmodule_ref'
C:\Users\Demon\AppData\Local\Temp\ccs8AWDr.o:fred_r.d:(.text+0x279e): undefined reference to `_Dmodule_ref'

<snip> (a LOT of references to _Dmodule_ref)

Before I try to workaround this beast anyone have an idea what's wrong?

In a nutshell, MinGW has a strange existence between the Posix code and Windows code.  So, it's often affected by changes in both.

Windows handles modules differently than GDC.  So when they changed some things(Moved module handling to minfo.d), it broke MinGW.  I have fix, just ironing out a few other issues as well.

Removed the download.  Broken binaries aren't useful.
