Yeah looks like it. What HOST_DC do you use (i.e. what DMD version)? As mentioned, this file is built by various CIs, so it's pretty interesting to see that it doesn't work for you.

That is a string import (-J).
What does the word "import" mean in this context? I can't find
any documentation on the use of import in this way, and the
line fails to compile during the make.

Thank you. I did not know that.
The error was caused by an over-zealous virus checker preventing
some dmc executables from downloading.

The error message is:

The file is in the directory dmd2/src/res, which is specified

Is there anyone who knows the ins and outs of the makefile that
