digitalmars.D - Compiling dmd on Windows

Hi,

is there any page on how to compile the whole dmd, druntime and phobos 
on Windows?

I am facing a few issues with me hacking around win32.mak files, related 
to tools location, missing tools(detab) and expected UNIX tools (e.g. cp 
instead of copy).

This is the guide that I wrote a while ago:

If you get ASM errors while building:

Thanks for point it out, going though it now.

Shouldn't those makefiles use Windows only tools?

Those makefiles should be just one makefile that works across
platforms by using GNU Make, but some people love the idea of
maintaining 10 different makefiles that are already awfully out of
sync, all because DM Make exists.

Actually there should something along the lines of a 
CMakeLists.txt so you are free to use whatever you want, 
including IDEs.

Last I tried, all that was needed was to download dmc and run 
make -f win32.mak.

Just a disclaimer (as I see that author is not pointer out). This was
not written by me, and I found this link somewhere on the newsgroup some
time ago.
