Ok, this is probably some stupid little issue, but I'm getting "object.d: Error: module object is in file 'object.d' which cannot be read" when I try to use a DMD I build from git. Here's how I'm building it all:

It can't find object_.d. It means that the path to druntime (and probably the path to phobos as well) is screwed up. Your dmd.conf (or sc.ini I guess, since you appear to be on Windows) needs to be fixed to have the correct paths.

Heh, turns out the problem was something I glossed over in my listing of what I did.

When I created sc.ini, I created it in the main current directory (ie, the same directory that contains the "dmd", "druntime" and "phobos" subdirectories). Then I gave sc.ini to DMD with:

> copy sc.ini dmd\bin

And then ran dmd from the current directory. So DMD picked up ./sc.ini instead of ./dmd/bin/sc.ini. And of course, since the paths in sc.ini are given relative to sc.ini itself, that's what screwed it up.

Boy, three time-consuming dumbass mistakes in two days. I'm really on a roll here... ;)
