It used to work to just `cd dmd2/src/dmd && make -f posix.mak`.
Most the files are still there, implying it is supposed to
still work, but it fails because of trivial things like VERSION
being in the wrong directory (the file IS actually there, just
not where -J looks for it), and the ddoc file not being
included (it is apparently in a directory not bundled).
This is arguably a regression
Yes, it's because VERSION is now auto-generated.
And it leaves me with little confidence that you actually fixed
the historically-much-MUCH-more-difficult git build
Well, as you noticed the layout in release archives is a bit
different to the original git source.
when the zip build that historically have just worked is now
broken....
I'm super-confident in this. We have too many CIs that all `git
clone` the dmd repo on _every_ PR.
```
git clone https://github.com/dlang/dmd
cd dmd
make -f posix.mak
```
FWIW at the moment we have six different CIs for dmd which are
all passing nicely on master:
