i want to add (or try to add) some browsing/crossreference output stuff to the frontend code - but there is no makefile, dsw, sln or else which helps me building the project - how can i compile the frontend?

can't the frontend be an working project (out of the box) - complete compile and runnable (without the d compile stuff) so others (like me) can use it as an feature testsuit

ciao dennis

I'm really not the one to answer your question, but isn't that what dmdfe is supposed to be?
http://dsource.org/projects/dmdfe
(only thing there is source code though http://dsource.org/projects/dmdfe/browser/trunk)

There's dmdfe at dsource (as already mentioned), but that's quite out of date.

I maintain a compilable DMD FE as an upstream for my assorted DMD FE based projects. It's in SVN at http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dsss/branches/dmdfe/

Probably the old dmdfe should be removed and instead point to your FE.

I think all the Dsource pages are wiki-editable.  You (or anyone who cares) could just add a comment to the original Dsource page pointing to Gregors.
