I want to build last D 2.0 compiler in Microsoft Visual Studio IDE.
Prompt me please, what create and adjust *.vcproj project in MSVC

Visual Studio?
I tried this do, but faced that that some files
нехватает (even after
I have found in sources subprojects which generate the part lacking
sources).
Anyone created the similar projects? If yes, that where possible
download working project?
I spent ~15 hours trying to get LDC to build with it, and eventually
basically gave up. It'll build (with some modifications), but there are
quite a few issues that prevent it from working right in many cases.
At the moment, LDC on Windows is pretty much a waste of time, since
LLVM only supports Dwarf debug information and exception handling in
the backends. This *will* change eventually, but none the less, this
has been the situation for more than two years. There seems to be some
GSOC proposals that will help if accepted, but anyway ...
Btw.., you spent ~15hrs getting LDC to compile with MSVC? O.o
What changes did you have to make? Where?
Please send us your patches :)
I submitted it a long time ago here:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/ldc/ticket/98 ... However I gave up
after realizing just how far LLVM has to come on Windows. It doesn't
look like 15 hours of work, but I haven't used VS much at all, and just
getting LLVM to build in it is enough of a chore.
