Title: Additions to build instructions
Post by: Forestidia86 on September 18, 2020, 09:48:21 PM

There is an overview of command lines/switches (https://dub.pm/commandline.html) for dub.

Dmd as well as Ldc seem to try to build the 64bit build on Windows by default. The switch to affect that is '--arch=...', for 32bit build '...' is 'x86' ('x86_64' for 64bit build).

For the choice of compiler you can use the switch '--compiler=...', if you want sth different from what is used by default. Lix supports 'dmd' and 'ldc2' for '...' . (At least on Windows only 64bit is supported with ldc2 and 32bit with dmd, 64bit with dmd is supported with some tweaks (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=3801.msg85567#msg85567)).

If you look closely it tells you for what architecture which compiler is building, at the beginning there is e.g. the line 'Performing "debug" build using C:\D\ldc2\bin\ldc2.exe for x86_64'.

Thanks! I'll add --arch=x86 to the Windows notes about building with DMD.
