The instructions for building dmd and Phobos on OSX (http://dlang.org/dmd-osx.html) say to use the makefile "osx.mak".  This file doesn't exist anywhere.  Using "posix.mak" instead seems to work for Phobos.

In the dmd instructions, there are more problems.  The instructions currently are:

cd ~/dmd2/src/dmd
make -f osx.mak

In the dmd source tree, src/dmd is an executable, not a directory.  Running make -f posix.mak doesn't do anything.  There is an Xcode project in the top level directory that does the make -f posix.mak and doesn't produce a binary.

Running:

$ cd dmd/src
$ make -f posix.mak

Does work and produces and executable. The Xcode project also produces an executable, at least for me. The executable will be located at dmd/src/dmd.

So.. I forgot to run make clean before trying to build just before I filed the bug, then I mistook the "Nothing to do, because it's done" message for "Don't know what to do".  So that part works.  Sorry about that.
