Or are you just trying to understand how things work? In the latter case: you don't need to use make, to build your files, I just use it for small projects because it's super easy. Anyhow there are other ways you could use this without needing to dive into make: - as a wrapper - call your actions from a new Makefile target and simply depend on the compiler (that's how I use dub in such projects) - execute `make` as part of your build script. It will fetch the compiler if non-existent and be a no-op otherwise. What are you planning to do?

Bootstrap D template
Have you ever wanted to use D in a project where not everyone had D installed or maybe you wanted to fix the compiler to a specific version? I typically use a simple Makefile in such cases and download my preferred DMD and LDC version. As others who I have shown this have found this useful, I thought it might be helpful to other people (even so it's pretty straight-forward). The cool part about this is that you don't have to worry about anything. People can just type `make` and everything works magically. It's essentially a poor man's version of virtualenv for use cases where people are too lazy to use the install script or auto-env/dir-env can't be used either. I added a few other common "boilerplate" things (CI integration, CodeCov, Documentation build, linting, ...) to this template: https://github.com/wilzbach/d-bootstrap Happy bootstrapping! Why not Docker? --- Docker is typically used to allow a consistent work environment, but in my use cases Docker isn't available. If you want to use Docker, check out the [D docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/dlanguage/dmd/). Additional bonus Want to use D in a Web IDE? Use [Cloud9](https://aws.amazon.com/cloud9), clone this repo and run `make` - it will work out of the box.
