How to build DMD on windows ?
And then run all the test for it?
README.md is pretty empty at the moment.

Of course it is possible to wait for some Fixes in DMD compiler may be it could be faster just to fix them by my self and then hope that the fix will be accepted...

There is a guide for building DMD on the wiki:

http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD

Maybe it should be linked to from the README...

Easiest way (but you need visual studio):
1) checkout the latest version (or a tag) from https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd
2) Open the Visual Studio solution src/dmd_msc_vs10.sln and build using the release target. Benefit from a compiler which is 3 times faster compared to a dmd build with dmc.

Thanks,  I already found Visual Studio solution.
By the way it compiles with VS2012 but not with VS2013.

I think no one tried with 2013 yet. Whats the problem?
