Hi,
I follow the instructions from the wiki to build dmd/druntime
from source on windows.

Which DMD/druntime do you try to build?
IIRC there are some issues with the release ball, you should
try the GitHub sources.
Also are you using DigitalMars make?
What environment variables did you set?
I am pretty sure now the WIKI is wrong. The argument "release" in
command:
make -fwin32.mak release
will by intentional delete the folder "generated"
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/src/win32.mak#L347
But this folder is needed for building druntime as described in
wiki chapter "Building D runtime".
I somehow solved the issue by calling make without the "release"
argument.
Either the WIKI needs to be adapted or the make script.
Kind regards
André
