Description Paul D. Anderson 2017-03-11 02:22:44 UTC 
I downloaded the latest D version (2.073.2) to my Windows 10 computer, and issued the following commands in a terminal window:

set DM_HOME=C:\D
cd %DM_HOME%\dmd2\src\dmd
set HOST_DC=dmd
make -fwin32.mak release

The following error is generated:

echo "2.073.2" > verstr.h
Error: don't know how to make '../res/default_ddoc/theme.ddoc'

John Colvin created a related issue 17165, indicating that a the ../res/default_ddoc_theme.ddoc file was missing from the download. I copied the file to my the dmd2\src\dmd directory but this had no effect.

There was a recent pull request (#6580) to dmd, which seems to be the source of a change in the line (line no. 167) in the win32.mak file. I don't know if this is the ultimate cause of the error.

Cannot reproduce on an Ubuntu machine (git HEAD) using wine. Closing as fixed, please reopen if further problems are encountered.
