Digital Mars C++ compiler is free to use and is available for download on  
the same page with Digital Mars D compiler:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/download.html

Just download the dmc.zip package, install it and update you PATH  
environment variable to include path to dmc.exe:

(For Windows)
set path=c:\dm\bin;%PATH%
cd c:\dmd\src\dmd
make -fwin32.mak

Under Linux, you should also be able to build DMD with GCC.
