Unfortunately, dmd has not kept porters in mind and

You will have to build druntime and phobos for 2.067 also and
collect it all in a different location, which you could
invoke to bootstrap a new dmd. You may run into issues
related to D/C++ integration when building the latest dmd, as
that hasn't been tested on OpenBSD, only FreeBSD.
Why do you want the latest dmd on OpenBSD? I ask because it
will likely require some work, though likely not a lot.
I've already tried building 2.067 druntime by mistake and
run into problems. Most are resolvable by just adding
TARGET_OPENBSD next to TARGET_FREEBSD. But yeah, it's
gonna take some work. I want it because I'm using OpenBSD
as my main OS and I have a project that I want to port to D.
Btw I should've built the `install` target (got confused
by the wiki). Now I get:
cp: ../ini/openbsd/bin64/dmd.conf: No such file or directory
which is more understandable.
Alright, there was a contributor who recently got ldc working
on NetBSD, take a look at his PRs as a guide for what you'll
likely have to do:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3AnrTQgc
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3AnrTQgc
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3AnrTQgc
OpenBSD PRs welcome! :)
In the meantime, you can see that I've raised this bootstrap
issue internally and hopefully we can make it easier for future
porters.
:-)
In master there is already some OpenBSD support. Some time ago I
worked on druntime support but I still need to finish this.
Mostly there is nothing magic here - just translating the header
files. The only non-obvious work is required for the
module/shared library stuff (in rt.sections). If there is an
OpenBSD expert around who can help here it would be nice.
