D.gnu - GDC on CYGWIN available

Greetings!

I was very happy to see GDC available on cygwin, but, the list 
said, "...and without a working runtime the next major release of 
gcc will again have to drop it as it would no longer bootstrap." 
Has a decision being made of not supporting cygwin? Thanks.

Is anyone on this forum, or is everyone on vacation? :-)

I ve been waiting for an answer for this question too. GDC has 
lack of windows support for ages.

Ok, maybe we can get this fixed, somehow. :-)

I installed GDC from cygwin's setup tool. If I run,

```
$ gdc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gdc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/11/lto-wrapper.exe

```

you can see that it's install, but when I try to compile this 
very basic HelloWorld.d program,

```
$ cat HelloWorld.d
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
   writeln("Hello world");
}
```

I get these error:

```
$ gdc HelloWorld.d
d21: error: cannot find source code for runtime library file 
'object.d'
d21: note: dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd -man' 
for installation instructions.
d21: note: config file: not found
```

What do I need to do to get gdc to run in cygwin?

Is there a list of instructions on how to get this to work in any 
place?

It should be simple by copying certain files to the cygwin file 
structure. Thanks.

Not sure but there should be a config file similar to LDC's 
ldc2.conf but for GDC.

Any progress on getting cygwin GDC to work?
