I got GDC to work with VS2013 + VisualD by going into Tools-Options (The VS menu, not the one under Visual D) and adding the paths under Projects and Solutions - Visual D Settings - GDC Directories. I put the path to the bin folder in MinGW64 and the bin folder in GDC. I get a 10%-15% speed improvement, which is nice, but my binaries are 10 times larger. I have no idea where Visual D is supposed to be looking at, but I managed to get it to work by adding the Gdc/bin directory into path. With that it finds it anywhere.
How to setup GDC with Visual D?
DMC works fine, but when I try to compile using GDC it seems it can't find the compiler: Building Release GDC x64\ConsoleApp1.exe... failed launching gdc -m64 -O3 -frelease -fXf=Release GDC x64\ConsoleApp1.json -fdeps=Release GDC x64\ConsoleApp1.dep -o Release GDC x64\ConsoleApp1.exe main.d Building Release GDC x64\ConsoleApp1.exe failed! I've tried setting the GDC directory to different levels in the tree, but it gives me the same error regardless. I haven't tried adding GDC binaries to the PATH yet, but I am not sure whether I should. I am (trying) to use the latest unsupported alpha build because the supported version in from 2013 and so I am unsure whether I should use it. I only dabbled in D a few months ago when I was writing the compiler project for the online course, but did not study it much. Lately though, I've been trying to solve a tough problem on CodeChef and F# is 4x slower than the C++ version on the online judge which makes all my solutions time out. It would have been fine had it been only 2x just as it is on my machine locally. At any rate, as I've acquired the functional programming style recently, I do not want to go back to writing C++ unless I am forced to and I know GDC can match it in speed based on what I've read on the web. Any advice regarding how I can get this to work? Thanks.
Cannot find -lphobos
I works just fine on Windows, but I am having difficulty figuring out what the trouble is on my Bodhi 1.4 Virtual Box. I've followed the instruction on the Codeblocks Wiki and set the parameters, but when I try to compile, it complains that it can't find Phobos. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lphobos2 I've checked the search directories and the library directories are where it says they would be. I am not particularly familiar with Linux so I am not sure how to proceed from here. Any advice?
Re: Cannot find -lphobos
Your advice worked, thanks. It turns out that from the command line it compiles and links just fine. Codeblocks is the thing that is giving me trouble. It might have something to do that I am using the old Codeblocks 8.0 version. I would like to get the newest version but the Virtual Box OS is outdated and the package manager won't let me get anything newer. I downloaded the Codeblocks 13 tar manually and unpacked it, but Gdebi can't resolve the missing dependencies (even though they are right there in the directory.) It worked fine for Dmd. Any advice for this?

Any advice? dmd's -v flag may give some clues: $ dmd foo.d -v dmd outputs the config file that it uses and the linker flags that it passes. Ali additionally if not using dmd it may have the libraries named differently. a quick google says Bodhi linux is based on Ubuntu which doesn't ship dmd due to licensing issues AFAIK.
