--- Comment #1 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305@gmail.com> ---
We have now transitioned to the build.d file and as far as I understand the behavior is that if you do not have a host dmd you need to manually specify AUTO_BOOTSTRAP=1.

If I understand correctly, what this enhancement request is asking is tha if HOST_DMD_PATH is empty, then AUTO_BOOTSTRAP=1 should be set by default. I would argue that this is actually counter productive if you want to use a specific host but to forgot to set HOST_DMD_PATH. Right now, if that is the case, the compiler will nicely highlight that out. If we were to implement what is asked here, that might lead to head scratching behavior.

Closing as WONTFIX.
