digitalmars.D.learn - Building D on windows

Hi,
I was able to build dmd on my windows machine using VS2013 (using 
the vs2010 sln file). However, I am not sure how to proceed with 
building the druntime and phobos. Could someone please point me 
to instructions for the same?

I tried the following

1. Downloaded make and shell (digital mars)
2. created a shell file script.sh that contains the following
make -f posix.mak 
DMD=../dmd/src/vcbuild/Win32/Release/dmd_msc.exe\
3. Executed the sh file "shell script.sh"

I got the following error -
C:\Users\labuser\dlang\druntime>dir 
..\dmd\src\vcbuild\Win32\Release\dmd_msc.exe


C:\Users\labuser\dlang\druntime>shell script.sh
shell 1.01
make -f posix.mak DMD=../dmd/src/vcbuild/Win32/Release/dmd_msc.exe
Error on line 10: '=' is not a valid filename char

--- errorlevel 1

Regards,
Kashyap

Hi,

It looks like you are trying to use the posix makefile with 
Digital Mars make. posix.mak uses GNU make syntax - the makefile 
for DigitalMars make is win32.mak. So you will need to either 
make sure GNU make comes first in your PATH, or simply use 
win32.mak instead.

Thank you Valdmir ... things seem to build so quickly - its hard 
for me to believe that its a successful build :)
