Although I am pretty happy with D and its features,
I wanted to modify Phobos a bit. After checking it
out I have recognized that many files will not compile
with the '-w' (enable warnings) switch. So I have
modified all culprits and would be ready to build
my new Phobos version.

I have briefly checked the newsgroups and it seems
that building Phobos is not so straightforward as
originally thought, because there were quite a few
posts where people complained about several little
issues (missing masm.exe, etc.). In addition to that I
had the impression that the makefile contains
references to source files which are actually not
part of the 0.159 download.

Before I start testing my patched up Phobos
version, I'd like to know what problems I could
run into and how to avoid them.

Thanks for any feedback.

Specifically, remove all references to recls.obj..
And there's another .obj it can't find, but I removed that too. My projects 
seems to link well without it :)

I can send you my changed win32.mak tomorrow, if you still need it.

Here's a win32.mak that works for me. Change the CFLAGS and DFLAGS on 
top to build with debug-info/unittests.

It's pretty simply, really. I had to remove the references to recls.obj, 
realtest.obj and gamma.obj.

Remember to do "attrib +r minit.obj" before you clean/del *.obj, since 
you'll need masm to build that one yourself.

Thank you very much for your info. It was important for me to know
that someone has successfully re-built Phobos using the source files
supplied with the latest releases, because the Phobos makefile was
obviously looking like it needed some overhaul.

After reading your first message, I have started yesterday to
modify both the Phobos and the internal\gc makefile. This was
necessary, because my directory structure does not match the one
required for the makefiles to work properly. For some strange
reason a full path is given to the dmd compiler, while the C compiler
is assumed to be found in the default path. (You might want to
modify your makefile(s) accordingly, if you ever attempt to move
the dmd directories).

Then I have extracted the probably obsolete realtest.obj and
gamma.obj from the original phobos.lib. I add them later to the
newly built library in order to avoid comparison mismatches.

Thanks again.
