Steps I had to do (coincidentally, just today):
1) Edit win64.mak on druntime / phobos to change from 10.0 to
12.0 for VS, and from v7.0A to v8.1A for SDK directory.
2) Edit sc.ini where it says the mspdb*.dll line, remove the
x86_amd64/bin or such and just make it
"PATH=%PATH%;%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\;%VCINSTALLDIR%\..\Common7\IDE".
This should fix the error you're having.
3) Edit the tools win32.mak to use -m64 and thus actually be
64-bit. The makefiles don't use a different folder for x86 and
x64, so you can't have a 32-bit version of phobos and 64-bit
version of phobos at same time, so tools needs to be built for
64-bit. Then I removed everything but ddemangle and rdmd from
the targets.
Basically, the Windows makefiles are a bit of a mess because
they don't allow 32-bit and 64-bit versions at the same time
and assume VS2010.
After these changes I was successfully able to build the tools
repository.
I am trying to write down the script routine needed to build all
D toolchain in a simple way I am used to. So far I have this :
http://wiki.dlang.org/Developing_DMD_/_Phobos_on_Windows_8
It relies on vcvars.bat instead of defining full paths everywhere
and results in small development environment contained in a
single folder. dmd, druntime and phobos build without problems
(though dmd requires
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3866) but when
I tried building rdmd.d got interesting linker error:
link rdmd,,nul,user32+kernel32/noi;
LINK: fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file
'rdmd,,nul,user32+kernel32/noi;.obj'
I have no idea where such garbage linker input may come from. Any
suggestions?
