Yes. "hello world" compiles and runs. Now I am trying to compile 
dub. I found https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDMD. but I 
decided to use dub for building dub with
```somefolder/bin/dub.exe build --compiler=gdc ``` which is 
easier for me.

it complained about missing d21 executable. So, I copied it (~430 
mb) from gcc-source/build/gcc into /opt/mingw64/bin which is in 
my $PATH.

Now it says:
```d
dub 1.25.0+commit.17.g79e312d0: building configuration 
"application"...
d:/msys64/opt/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/11.0.1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lcurl
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```
I have curl, libcurl, libcurl-devel, etc. installed though:
