View source for Latest LDC binaries for Windows

As of August 2015, LDC has got support for Windows CI (Continuous Integration) via [https://ci.appveyor.com/project/kinke/ldc AppVeyor]. As convenient side effect, successful jobs publish the LDC installation directory (as compressed [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip] archive) as GitHub release artifact, downloadable for you guys and thus saving you the hassle of building LDC yourselves:

* Head over to the [https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/LDC-Win64-master GitHub release] and download the latest x64/x86 .7z artifact at the bottom.
* Extract it somewhere.
* Use the executables <tt>bin\ldc2.exe</tt> and/or <tt>bin\ldmd2.exe</tt>.

LDC is built with <tt>RelWithDebInfo</tt> CMake configuration, assertions enabled, with a pre-built LLVM 3.9.1 (<tt>Release</tt> CMake configuration, LLVM assertions enabled) and Visual Studio 2015. It ships with debug infos (<tt>bin\ldc2.pdb</tt>).

For linking, you'll need MS Visual C++ 2015, either by installing [https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ Visual Studio] or the stand-alone [http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools Visual C++ Build Tools]. The LDC executables are linked dynamically against the MS Visual C++ runtime, so at least an installed [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53840 2015 runtime] is required.
