Hi folks,

Now I'm using Win 7 64 (for work). It don't have MSVC installed, but Win
7 SDK.
I tried to built DMD using it, but failed:

Any suggestions?

In case he doesn't read your message here anyway, you might want 
to ping Rainer Schuetze directly, as he is the one who worked on 
VC support.

Unfortunately some changes to the makefile have been reverted, but I 
don't know why. This is the version that should work:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/965d831df554fe14c793ce0d6a1dc9f0b2956911/src/win32.mak

But that one is still using dmc, right? I tried to use "CC=cl" (of course
MS' cl), and got a bunch of errors.

You should still use vcbuild\builddmd.bat which replaces dmc with 
dmc_cl, a batch that replaces dmc's options with the respective cl options.

Well I used vcbuild\builddmd.bat (see my first post), and it failed.

You have to use vcbuild\builddmd.bat with the older win32.mak. I 
actually tried it and it worked for me a few days ago with the compiler 
that comes with VS2008.

Ah, OK. I guess I messed with the batch files up, and then I tried once
again. The compilation worked, but then I got these linker errors.

It seems you are building with the x64-compiler. The win32.mak makefile 
only supports Win32 builds, so please switch your path variable to point 
to the 32-bit compiler.

The VS project supports building an x64 executable of dmd, but it 
involves assembling vcbuild\ldfpu.asm. The resulting dmd still generates 
Win32-code, though.
