MinGW-w64 D1 with phobos has been successfully compiled. Phobos contained 3 errors. Two were Windows function calls. Phobos uses size_t but Win64 uses uint. The other was with the GC relating to Windows stack information. Several functions in the GC expect uint which causes warnings and sh

Thought I'd post an update. I spent last weekend building the support libraries for MinGW-w64. I also took the opportunity to automate the build process from start to finish. I had to do this inside VirtualBox which not only adds significantly to compiling, the latest version(4.0.4) kept loc

I'm thinking of working on getting GDC MinGW binaries up somewhere. I understand the MinGW build process is highly non-trivial, and I'm trying to decide if it's worth the effort. What is the status of MinGW for 64-bit Windows? Is there any theoretical reason why 64-bit GDC for MinGW shouldn't work
