We don't release a Win64 build of dmd, so you don't need to build
this target. There are files to support Win64 builds, but they are
for those adventurous souls who want to compile dmd with Visual
Studio.<br>

I'm having problems building on win7x64. Anyone ever encountered
this issue and know a fix?<br>

Observing the dmd/src, druntime, and phobos directories I noticed
that dmd/src does not contain an win64.mak file but the others do.
This shouldn't matter though, I thought, because when building dmd
I specify MODEL=64. I don't think it made a difference.<br>
<br>
I took a look at win32.mak and noticed a reference to PVS-Studio.
I didn't have it installed</blockquote>
<br>
PVS-Studio is a source code analysis tool. We don't have PVS-Studio
anymore, so just ignore that.<br>

These are because win32.mak is designed to build dmd with the win32
tools, not the Microsoft win64 tools. The errors you see are from
the Microsoft linker being passed command line switches meant for
the Digital Mars linker.<br>

I'm at a lost at the moment. I guest a better question to ask is
does anyone working on Win64 regularly build and use dmd from
source? If so, can you provide the steps to properly configure my
system?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

This error can happen if one attempts to link together files
compiled with different memory models - but that shouldn't be
happening. I don't know what is going wrong here.<br>
<br>
What snn.lib are you linking with? Also, can you post your
message to the beta list, perhaps someone else has seen this
issue too?<br>

I've made some progress with building the betas. I've
successfully built dmd and created the required zips for
each platform with the exception of Win32. I need to be able
to build from head in order to get this release built.<br>
<br>
I followed instructions at wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD but,
while everything seems to work, I get errors about a missing
linker when building the unittest or any other d program.
Trying to pull link.exe from a different release and staging
it doesn't work... I get a slew of errors in the form:<br>
<br>
..\druntime\lib\druntime.lib(thread)<br>
Error 35: Cannot Reach TARGET from FRAME at Relative
00041H from Segment _TEXT<br>
Segment _TEXT<br>
FRAME = Frame of Group FLAT 000000H<br>
TARGET = External Symbol
_D4core6thread6Thread7sm_thisC4Core6thread6Thread 93D24H<br>
FIXUP Type = Unknown Type<br>
--- errorlevel 1342<br>
<br>
This is my last major roadblock. I've merged the 2.065
branch back to master and created a new "release" branch.
Last thing left to do is this combine the zips and stage
them so I can make the installers.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions on what needs to be modified in
wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD to set up a working dmd
environment?<br>
<br>

Andrew<br>
