The last dmd we released that was written in C++ was 2.067,

Since we don't regularly build for OpenBSD, it's
possible that support has slipped behind. Usually, it's
as easy as adding OpenBSD to a couple more #ifdefs, but
sometimes you need to adapt the dmd source also for a rarely
used platform like OpenBSD.
I managed to build the bootstrap dmd without any trouble. Btw
the wiki page doesn't mention that the dependency is *GNU*
Make which is typically installed as gmake on BSDs. Then I
tried building the new dmd and got (in dmd/src):
CC=c++ dmd -of../generated/openbsd/release/64/idgen ddmd/idgen.d
Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file
'object.d'
dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd
-man' for installation instructions.
config file: /etc/dmd.conf
Specify path to file 'object.d' with -I switch
gmake[1]: *** [posix.mak:437:
../generated/openbsd/release/64/idgen] Error 1
Now I'm trying to figure out the /etc/dmd.conf business. I
found ini/freebsd/bin64/dmd.conf in the 2.067 dmd folder so I
guess I'll start from there. Thanks for the help so far.
Unfortunately, dmd has not kept porters in mind and hasn't kept
the C++ version updated, or kept a workflow that enables easy
bootstrapping:

You will have to build druntime and phobos for 2.067 also and
collect it all in a different location, which you could invoke to
bootstrap a new dmd. You may run into issues related to D/C++
integration when building the latest dmd, as that hasn't been
tested on OpenBSD, only FreeBSD.
Why do you want the latest dmd on OpenBSD? I ask because it will
likely require some work, though likely not a lot.
