Basically the headline. I want to try to implement my DIP. I've already forked DMD from GitHub. Now, what would I have to do in order to get a D compiler with my changes?

I have Windows on x86-64 and Visual Studio on my machine.

Check esp. the sections on "Building from source".

Install VisualD and open src\vcbuild\dmd.sln.

It might just be a quirk of my install (but It happened recently enough ago that it's worth mentioning) but if you get a really cryptic error message about some msbuild dll being missing you need to find the configuration option and manually set it to the dll actually present.
