I'm trying to build DMD with Visual D under Visual Studio as shown in the Wiki:

https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_under_Windows

The notes say to use the solution vcbuild:

You should be able to build DMD using the visual studio solution found in: dmd\src\vcbuild A typical choice is to build the 64-bit debug version (the VisualD options are named 'Release' and 'x64').  [Btw, Should that be "64-bit release version" or "'Debug' and 'x64'"?]

I do this with Visual Studio 2019 and I'm getting errors. Should I be using Visual Studio 2017 or even VS 2013?  Didn't want to waste time debugging if VS2019 is not supported.

It works now.  Not sure what I did to _not_ make it work yesterday.

That's easy. You made a post here about it and the universe got scared.
