I'm trying to use Ldc on Windows, but I get these linker errors:

How can I solve this?

Ah, I found the msvcEnv.bat and I told me that I have to VSC installation. Solved!

You should also be able to use -link-internally /LLMV's lld if you don't want to install MSVC

What would be "/LLMV's lld" in this case?

Sorry that was meant to be -link-internally / LLMV's lld (i.e. not a command line option. I forgot windows uses / for that.

I mean lld-link.exe or link-lld.exe (can't remember which) that comes with the dmd  install (and I think ldc install? or maybe you just use -link-internally).

Nope, the MSVC libs are still required, and no, the ancient ones shipping with DMD can't be used.
