There are no instructions for it. Trying the obvious does not work.

What I'd like to see is, say, a .bat file named cc32mscoff.bat, that will build the 32 bit mscoff libraries. I don't want to set paths, environment variables, etc., I just want it to build the 32 bit mscoff libraries.

It's madness to require a special tool to just compile a library. :-(

Somehow, the simple concept of:

    dmd <bunch of flags> <all the files> -odruntime.lib

has turned into quite a rube goldberg morass.

not sure if this is the info you're looking for..but:

you need to build dmd before druntime.

I only use win64.mak

first update the win64.mak file to work with the version of the Visual Studio you have installed.

i.e.
VCDIR=
SDKDIR=
BINDIR=

you could run this first(to see the actual commands it will run):
make -n -f win64.mak

But I just run this .bat file I made (always works fine - although the version of the src I use is kinda old, but I happy to stick with it  ->  v2.098.1

I've no idea how it's done on Windows, but on Linux, it's as simple as:

	export HOST_DMD=/path/to/bootstrap/dmd
	make -f posix.mak PIC=1 MODEL=64

I've wrote some building script to automate dmd and friend (druntime) builds. but I don't know if it's what your looking for https://github.com/AnimusPEXUS/deployD .

oops, looks like this script of mine doesn't actually build druntime, but it's builds at my place ok with just `make -f posix.mak`

In case anyone is wondering, for LDC, it is `ldc-build-runtime`.
