digitalmars.D - Cannot build dmd due to sc.ini issue

After that, I adjusted the bin directory, and sc.ini as well:;
environment for both 32/64 bit
[Environment]
DFLAGS="-I% P%\..\src\phobos" "-I% P%\..\src\druntime\import"

FYI, my dmd root directory is C:\dmd.

All of my D code examples can be compiled successfully. No problem so far.

Now the problem is compiling the D compiler itself.
Running "make -f win32.mak release" gives:
make -fwin32.mak C=backend TK=tk ROOT=root HOST_DC="dmd" reldmd
make -fwin32.mak C=backend TK=tk ROOT=root HOST_DC="dmd" "OPT=-o"
"DEBUG=" "DDEBUG=" "DOPT=-inline -O" "LFLAGS=-L/delexe/la" dmd.exe
dmd -run idgen
Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file 'object.d'
       dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd -man' for
installation instructions.
       config file:
C:\Users\CSL-NB-064\Downloads\Software\d-lang\d-git\dmd\src\sc.ini
Specify path to file 'object.d' with -I switch

Indeed there's no sc.ini on that directory. But there's one in
C:\dmd\bin. Why can't dmd find that file?

Are you trying to compile the source code that comes with the actual  
release? I don't think this is possible anymore. You need a host D  
compiler, and a separate copy of the source. To clarify, I mean you should  
use the windows installer to install a copy of the most recent D compiler,  
and then clone the appropriate repositories(dmd, druntime, phobos, etc) to  
a separate location. Finally, use the first D compiler to build the source.

I believe this change was made to accommodate the new DDMD front end.

You don't need the sc.ini at all to build dmd.
It looks more that the problem happends when you build druntime
and phobos.

Personnally i use this script to build from git master:

https://gist.github.com/BBasile/e2a5504a64ee82080117

it's a bit shitty but if it can help...

it must be located and executed in the root folder of the
repositories (cwd):

-root(cwd)\
       +--script.d
       +--dmd\
       +--druntime\
       +--phobos\

And another thing: the default sc.ini (the one from the zip
release) has not to be adjusted. src folders are well two folders
above the location, so:

; environment for both 32/64 bit
[Environment]
DFLAGS="-I% P%\..\..\src\phobos"
"-I% P%\..\..\src\druntime\import"

But the sc.ini for dmd master may have to...it depends if you
copy or not the src like in the releases. In the script they are
not copied and a sc.ini is created for the dmd-master only, based
on the repository locations.
