Please post all issues in D.gnu or on GDC's bitbucket site 
https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc

  * Built against TDM GCC 4.6.1:  http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/
  * Built against GDC revision 7e22befef29c.
  * Working TLS support.
  * Updated binutils and mingw runtime for TLS support.
    * new gas directive  secrel32 will generate a constant offset usable
      as an immediate or displacement value.
      Works like posix counterparts  tpoff,  dtpoff, etc.
    * Fixes an error with the mingw runtime related to TLS.
  * 7-zip format for size reasons:  http://7-zip.org
  * Release includes both D versions.
    * -v1(default) compiles for D1.
    * -v2 compiles for D2.
    * The switch must be used for linking as well.
  * Made possible by Iain Buclaw's hard work in maintaining GDC.
  * 64bit and up to date GDC forthcoming.

To install simply extract to you TDM MinGW32 directory.

This release
https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/downloads/gcc-4.6.1-tdm-1-gdc-7e22befef29c-20111205.zip

All MinGW GDC downloads.
It's highly recommended to ignore all prior builds.  TLS *will* not work.

All patches, source files and build scripts can be found at 
https://bitbucket.org/venix1/mingw-gdc/

Enjoy.

option at all to produce Win64 binaries.
(and of course beginning with Win7 everyone should use an x64 OS anyway ;))

 I see.
 btw, is there something like gdmd for Windoze too?



That would be very helpful, indeed! I don't feel like rewriting all of 
my makefiles to use GDC's parameter syntax. ;)

I suggest to make D2 the default.

I have installed the latest TDM GCC in
C:\MinGW

Then I have unpacked the 7-zip over the directories of the MinGW install. 150+
files got overwritten, some executables too.

I have made sure C:\MinGW\bin and C:\MinGW\lib are in the path. C:\MinGW\lib
contains libgphobos.a too.

If now I compile a little program using:
gdc -v2 test.d

It probably doesn't find Phobos:

c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/../../../libgphobos2.a(bitmanip.o): In
function `D3std8bitmanip8BitArray7opIndexMxFkZb':
C:\crossdev\gdc\v2\build\mingw32\libphobos/../../../gcc-4.6.1/libphobos
std/bitmanip.d:410: undefined reference to `__sync_fetch_and_add_4'
...
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/../../../libgphobos2.a(bitmanip.o):C:\crossdev\gdc\v2\build\mingw32\libphobos/../../../gcc-4.6.1/libphobos
std/bitmanip.d:410: more undefined references to `__sync_fetch_and_add_4' follow

I don't even know what C:\crossdev\ is, I don't have that directory.

Do you know how to improve this situation?

Bye and thank you,

uploaded new binaries.

  * GDC now targets i686 processors.  Was targeting i386 which required 
substituting functions for atomic instructions.

I will release MinGW64 binaries soon then work on updating to tip and 
changing the default compiler to D2.

I have tried the same install operations I have tried in a precedent post, and
now it says it is not finding this:
libgmp-3.dll

TDM-GCC is built with shared libraries using gmp-4.3.2.  MinGW stable is 
built with static libraries.  The dll you listed comes from gmp-5.0.1. 
I am using the TDM-GCC build scripts to build the D compiler as well. 
You can find the files inside the "libexec/mingw32/4.6.1" folder of the 
TDM-GCC core download from the downloads page.

 Did you install TDM-GCC or MinGW Stable?



Like in my precedent test I have installed "tdm-gcc-4.6.1 exe MinGW / sjlj":

I have found that libgmp-3.dll and other needed dlls are in this directory,
that I have added to the path:
C:\MinGW32\libexec\gcc\mingw32\4.6.1

Now it's giving me:

...>gdc -v2 test.d
gdc: fatal error: -fuse-linker-plugin, but liblto_plugin-0.dll not found
compilation terminated.

Despite the C:\MinGW32\libexec\gcc\mingw32\4.6.1 directory contains
liblto_plugin-0.dll too.

I feel stupid -.-
I'd like a single zip/rar/7zip with all needed files inside, with GCC too :-)

I've repackaged and tested it from a clean install.

Now it compiles a working hello world, thank you :-)

A not stripped hello world is 3_908_177 bytes, much bigger than the binary
produced by DMD, and it's 677_888 bytes stripped.
DMD 2.057beta+optilink produce a 932_892 bytes hello world binary, while using
the same DMD+ulink it becomes 334_576 bytes.

If I compile the little D coins program here:
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=151610

Using:
gdc -v2 coins.d -o coins.exe

When I run it it crashes immediately with no error messages :-(

Try comparing against what GCC's C/C++ compiler produces.

 That could be done but I never liked the idea of requiring multiple GCC

This one works for me on TDM GCC. I had the same gmp problem with the last =
one.

It seems calling spawn() in std.concurrency causes a segfault, but
that's a separate issue.

This is great, the binaries now work. Thanks for your hard work Daniel.

Btw, it seems GDMD is hardcoded to D1? -fd-version is always 1,
there's a -v1 switch for GDMD but no -v2 switch. Should I file this?

Here's what I can add on line 434 in GDMD to make it work:
