Anyone out there qualified to write a windows gdc installation guide? I currently have gcc version 4.8 (32-bit) on my windows 7 system and would like to add the gdc front end to the existing setup. I can test and provide feed-back but need same sort of starting point.

The GCC version I have was provided with a QT 5 download.

Do you want to compile from source? If you want to use binaries you can try the builds at http://www.gdcproject.org/downloads . MinGW / windows is not well-supported in current GDC sources. Daniel Green has some more patches which improve MinGW support and he also provides build scripts for windows: https://github.com/venix1/MinGW-GDC . I use crosstool-NG to build the windows builds on a linux machine with these configs: https://github.com/jpf91/gdc-build-configs/tree/master/configs/x86_64-w64-mingw32/x86_64-w64-mingw32 (However, this requires not yet published patches for crosstool-NG to build).
