It should be a simple matter of:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/code; cd ~/code
git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org
cd dlang.org
make -f posix.mak LATEST=2069.2
```

However, I get a std.net.curl error during compilation of dub (luckily
dlang.org doesn't depend on dub, so it doesn't particularly matter and I
can carry on with my tinkering).

I assume theres a problem with the makefiles here - or is it stupid user
syndrome?


This is supposedly an issue in DUB's build.sh that has recently been 
fixed on GIT master [1]. The problem is caused by the uncommon 
definition of the $DC variable in posix.mak that resulted in build.sh 
not recognizing it as DMD and skipping the necessary linker workaround 
(libphobos2 needs to be passed after libcurl, but by default libphobos2 
always gets passed first).


Workaround is to edit posix.mak and change
  DC="$(abspath ${STABLE_DMD}) -conf=$(abspath ${STABLE_DMD_CONF})"
to
  DC=dmd

in the "${DUB}:" target.

Do you have libcurl installed?  I think it's required to build 
dub.
