- Manu (2/19) Sep 26 2013 Amen! :) .. I wasn't sure if that got through.
I know there's been some work/discussion regarding improvements to how DMD/sc.ini/whatever handles the paths for MSVC for Win64 builds. I haven't been following that closely, so I wanted to ask: What's the current state of that? Is it decided how 2.064 is going to deal with that, and if so, how exactly?

Walter hasn't replied so it's a bit in limbo.

The tail of the path changes with VC versions. I've modified the installer to detect VS and adjust sc.ini accordingly: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/22 This will make it pretty simple for those using the installer. I think I'm going to ask Walter to ship an sc.ini more like this sc.ini Rainer posted[1] and adjust the installer accordingly: --- ; environment for both 32/64 bit [Environment] LIB="% P%\..\lib" DFLAGS="-I% P%\..\..\src\phobos" "-I% P%\..\..\src\druntime\import" LINKCMD=% P%\link.exe [Environment64] ; VS2008 and VS2012 LINKCMD64=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\amd64\link.exe ; VS2012 ; LINKCMD64=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\x86_amd64\link.exe ; needed with /DEBUG to find mspdb*.dll PATH=%PATH%;%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\x86_amd64;%VCINSTALLDIR%\..\Common7\IDE ; needed to avoid COMDAT folding (bugzilla 10664) DFLAGS=%DFLAGS% -L/OPT:NOICF LIB="% P%\..\lib64" ;;;; search path for C Runtime libraries ; the following lib path works with VS2008, VS2010 and VS2012 LIB=%LIB%;"%VCINSTALLDIR%\lib\amd64" ;;;; search path for Platform libraries ; the following lib path works with Windows SDK 6.x and 7.x LIB=%LIB%;%WindowsSdkDir%\Lib\x64 ; the following lib path works with Windows SDK 8.0 LIB=%LIB%;%WindowsSdkDir%\Lib\win8\um\x64 --- That sc.ini is much more helpful to people editing by hand (as well as takes care of some bugs I wasn't aware of). 1. http://forum.dlang.org/post/l10vtc$76o$1 digitalmars.comOn Wednesday, 25 September 2013 at 16:26:14 UTC, Nick Sabalausky wrote:Hmm, ok.
