Hi,

is there any page on how to compile the whole dmd, druntime and phobos on Windows?

I am facing a few issues with me hacking around win32.mak files, related to tools location, missing tools(detab) and expected UNIX tools (e.g. cp instead of copy).

This is the guide that I wrote a while ago: http://wiki.dlang.org/Using_Git_on_Windows

If you get ASM errors while building: http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD#Common_Windows_issues

Thanks for point it out, going though it now.

Shouldn't those makefiles use Windows only tools?

Last I tried, all that was needed was to download dmc and run make -f win32.mak.

Just a disclaimer (as I see that author is not pointer out). This was not written by me, and I found this link somewhere on the newsgroup some time ago.

Those makefiles should be just one makefile that works across platforms by using GNU Make, but some people love the idea of maintaining 10 different makefiles that are already awfully out of sync, all because DM Make exists.

Actually there should something along the lines of a CMakeLists.txt so you are free to use whatever you want, including IDEs.
