Am I forgetting something, or is "make -fposix.mak" supposed to build the DMD executable on linux. I'm just getting:

make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

This is on the zipped 2.054 release, from the "src/dmd" directory.

It seemed to work for 1.066

Of course, on 1.066 I used linux.mak, but my understanding is that on newer DMDs posix.mak is supposed to be used instead.

It looks like it decided that there's no need to build, because there have been no changes since the last build. Try cleaning first:

make -f posix.mak clean
make -f posix.mak

I gotta learn to 1. STFU and 2. Quit the late-night coding:

I realized about 15 seconds later I had already built the executable, which was still up-to-date...
