I dunno. People just don't do that. It's perceived that typing commands in the command line is a completely unrealistic workflow for most people that doesn't love linux. He would have also had to have written himself a makefile, and none of us know how to write a makefile. I generate makefiles with other tools, but there are no good makegen tools that support D and C projects together, and even if there were, you'd just be writing a makegen script instead, which we still didn't know how to write... We also really didn't have time to stuff around with it. He just went and recorded audio instead.
Screw makefiles. dub[1] is the way to go. Dead easy to configure [2] and dead easy to use. A default debug build on the command line is "dub build", or even just "dub".
