Hi,
I was able to build dmd on my windows machine using VS2013 (using the vs2010 sln file). However, I am not sure how to proceed with building the druntime and phobos. Could someone please point me to instructions for the same?

I tried the following

1. Downloaded make and shell (digital mars)
2. created a shell file script.sh that contains the following
make -f posix.mak DMD=../dmd/src/vcbuild/Win32/Release/dmd_msc.exe\
3. Executed the sh file "shell script.sh"

I got the following error -
C:\Users\labuser\dlang\druntime>dir ..\dmd\src\vcbuild\Win32\Release\dmd_msc.exe


C:\Users\labuser\dlang\druntime>shell script.sh
shell 1.01
make -f posix.mak DMD=../dmd/src/vcbuild/Win32/Release/dmd_msc.exe
Error on line 10: '=' is not a valid filename char

--- errorlevel 1

Regards,
Kashyap

Hi,

It looks like you are trying to use the posix makefile with Digital Mars make. posix.mak uses GNU make syntax - the makefile for DigitalMars make is win32.mak. So you will need to either make sure GNU make comes first in your PATH, or simply use win32.mak instead.

There is a wiki page with instructions for building D from source:

Thank you Valdmir ... things seem to build so quickly - its hard for me to believe that its a successful build :)
