linking failed , Windows 7 ,32bit

[hutucha]

I had complied DlangIDE0.8.17 32bit version in windows 7.
The steps were as follows:
1, download dlangide-Master.zip
2, go into "dlangide-Master" folder
3, using : dub run --build=release --arch=x86_mscoff dlangide
compling was successful, but linking error;
It was showing me these:

Linking...
lld-link: error: unknown directive: EXETYPE
Error: linker exited with status 1
H:\dlang\dmd2088\windows\bin\dmd.exe failed with exit code 1.

How to solve this problem?

Has anyone successfully completed dLangide 0.8.17?
Why don't people submit a binary version of dlangide 0.8.17 for win7/win10?

Hi, seems to me that this project is somewhat dead?

Yes, it seems. I feel the same way.

Just go in C:\ProgramData\dub\packages\dlangui-0.9.182\dlangui\src\win_app.def
and comment out
;EXETYPE NT
;SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS

@Siemargl The way you said doesn't work. I used dmd2.088/2.090 to compile directly. I didn't use dub package alone;

[Siemargl]

I use version dmd 2.092.1 without installed MS VS. So build with mingw toolchain and lld

Also you can download binaries from my (a little fixed) fork

@Siemargl I got your file ,but it still doesn't work . It indicates that I'm missing msvcr120.dll. There is a clear difference between your document requirements and the original version. The original version does not need this document.Thank you all the same.

[Siemargl]

Yes, I have msvsrt120.dll in dmd2\bin
and mscoff plaform use it - see dmd2\windows\lib32mscoff\mingw\msvcrt120.lib

I understand this, programs, built with dmd 2.092.1 may require Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime.

@Siemargl I copied this file "msvcrt120.lib", the program can run, thank you.
I wonder if you can rewrite this project into an IDE like Delphi,
That would be perfect !!
