can't use "make install -fwin32.mak". I've also tried using the one that comes
with UnxTools from http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/ , but that one
fails with:

cp.exe: cannot create regular file `\dmd2\windows\lib':
No such file or directory

Replacing cp with 'copy' doesn't work either, since copy uses a different
syntax.

I'm not seeing a CP binary in any of the DigitalMars tools.

green I just copy phobos.lib in src/phobos  to windows\lib directory and 
rebuild my projects.
(since phobos.lib includes druntime I don't think there is anything else 
you should do)

Yup, overall win32 makefile seems horribly f**ed up.

I mean if I'm switching between branches I'd like to automatically
switch to a pre-compiled .lib file so I don't waste time recompiling a
branch which was already compiled.

msys used to have one, haven't used it in a while.

try this: (runs as a native win32 binary!!)
- http://www.file-upload.net/download-3463821/cp.zip.html


PS:
It's taken form the GnuWin project on sourceforge:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

I couldn't find  a single download for cp, but since
I have installed the whole project I've extracted the necessary files 
and made an upload :)

That is weird, this is the first place I've looked for the CP command
and it wasn't there. Thanks, I'll give that a try!

Well that doesn't work:

D:\DMD\dmd2\src\phobos>make install -fwin32.mak
cp phobos.lib \dmd2\windows\lib
C:\GnuWin32\bin\cp.exe: cannot create regular file
`\\dmd2\\windows\\lib': No such file or directory

Having DIR defined as:
DIR=\dmd2

as a directory doesn't make sense either. I have a feeling make
install is either never used or whoever packs windows binaries
(Walter?) calls it via cygwin or some other shell. Or there's a CP
binary that I don't know about.

I'll just roll out a build script in D for myself so I can have some
way of quickly building and switching between branches. I'll make it
multithreaded to speed things up as well.
