7 years ago New interactive lines are compiled into a shared library that gets loaded and executed. Unfortunately DLL support isn't nearly working as well as shared libraries atm, so Windows won't be supported until that is implemented upstream.
I tried to build drepl with Windows, but got errors. I am not sure if it is supported on Windows yet as there are few details in the readme.md. Looking at the dub.json, it has an option for "lflags-linux-dmd" but nothing for Windows. Nevertheless, I tried to build the current master with dmd 2.74.0 and dub 1.3.0 and got the result below.
