Time ago Dmitry Olshansky gave me a nice script to compile dmd+Phobos from github, starting like this:

Now I think it doesn't work any more, giving errors like this:

make -fwin32.mak C=backend TK=tk ROOT=root HOST_DC="" reldmd
make -fwin32.mak C=backend TK=tk ROOT=root HOST_DC="" "OPT=-o" "DEBUG=" "LFLAGS=-L/delexe/la" dmd.exe
run idgen
Error: 'run' not found

--- errorlevel 1

--- errorlevel 1


So is Dmitry (or someone else) willing and able to tell me how to fix my compilation script and what to do?

Thank you,

That may be related to the recent changes in the build system. Have you been following the following threads? (I haven't been; so, I am sure whether they apply.)

"[dmd-internals] DMD now requires a working D compiler to be build"

"Proposal : aggregated dlang git repository"

"dmd 2.066.1 cannot build phobos 2.066.1"

Right.

I will try to get something out of those threads, thank you :-)
