Thanks!
For the record, by clearing out all earlier Visual Studio's and
downloading Visual Studio 2026, and using 'Developer Powershell', I
_finally_ made it work.
However, would it not be better if the Windows DMD download was 'battery
included', in the sense that the built-in C compiler did it's own
preprocessing?
I don't think it's worth it. Too much efforts for nothing. dmd does not
contain an internal C compiler, not at all, dmd translates C to D AST.
And dmd does not contain a preprocessor in any form. So you need to
write C preprocessor from scratch.
