I confess to being a bit confused overall - there is a bit of overlap and confusion for someone who wishes to venture into this area. Please bear with me:
>From wiki.dlang.org -> 'Get involved'. So far so good. >From here, I can go to 'Building DMD' and 'How to Fork and Build dlang.org', which both seem to build DMD - I'm unsure of the overlap aspects here. There is also an issue with the set of instructions in 'How to Fork and Build dlang.org' - and I don't know what category to file the bug under in bugzilla !?). Now, where does 'Starting as a Contributor' fit? --ted ------------- $ git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org $ git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd $ cd dlang.org/ $ make -f posix.mak html $ make -f posix.mak druntime-release >From https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd * branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD LATEST=2.068.0 <-- place in the command line to skip network traffic.
