Yah, I'm not asking for walking on water. Most work is not heavily platform-dependent, but if you feel it is, point that out.

Math code turns out to be quite platform-dependent.

My epic saga
of getting things to build hasn't ended. In fact
my initial goal was
just to build the html, but that uses wine, which in turn
has a
problem.

[snip]

It's great to have so many people contribute
to Phobos,
but I've never had such a long streak of non-builds. It
looks like new scale of
contribution asks for corresponding
responsibility. Please, make sure everything
builds before checking in,
and announce to this list if you broke the build and
are unable to fix
it without help.

I understand your frustration, but it might be
unreasonable to ask people to ensure a build occurs properly on all OSes before
checking in, this might not be practical (disclaimer: I haven't tried building
the latest, maybe the build doesn't work anywhere :)

Another option is to
use branches and merging, but dsource's SVN server is very outdated, and doesn't
support the better merging capability that the latest version does.

Also,
why wine is needed for any building of anything?  Is it even a supported
platform?
