While building DMD -- "make -fwin32.mak release" -- I received the following error message:

echo "2.073.2" > verstr.h
Error: don't know how to make '../res/default_ddoc_theme/ddoc'
--- error level 1

I'm guessing it might be a build configuration problem on my end, but what is the problem?

I see John Colvin has already filed a bug report (issue 17165) addressing this. Apparently the missing file is available on GitHub.

I copied the missing file John referenced to my src/dmd file but this did not have any effect.

I've created a bug report (17253) addressing this problem.

I think the problem is a failure in the process of creating verstring.

The missing file is "dmd/res/default_ddoc_theme/ddoc"
