I know that there are contributing guides but I fail to
successfully follow any of them:

1. Bash install script will not run under Windows. Using git bash
will result in error (Command error: undefined switch '-C')
2. Digger it's not compiling
3. Tried to make my own powershell script to mimic the setup.sh
behavior. I'm stuck at compilation part (below)

1. After several retries, I managed to compile DMD with make
-fwin32.mak. In fact I'm not sure which is the intended makefile
(the one in \dmd or the one in \dmd\src?)
2. make -fwin64.mak fails:

1. Downloaded GNU Make. How do I install it? What binaries are
needed?
2. Installed Linux Subsystem (Debian). What next? Why do I need
this?
3. All the make commands failed to execute. I suppose because
make.exe is expected to be part of the GNU package. Failed to
find such file in the GNU Make distribution.
