Reproduce: # Download and unzip http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2014/dmd.2.065.0.linux.zip # cd src/dmd # make -f posix.mak install Result: Install phase fails because in recent versions, Makefile accesses ../ini/$(OS)/$(bin_dir)/dmd.conf which is not bundled in archive.

Did this used to work in older versions? If so, this issue should be marked as a regression.

Directory existed before, but it wasn't referenced in "install" target so it wasn't a problem ( at least for me ).

Temporary workaround: Change line 376 of posix.mak from: cp ../ini/$(OS)/$(bin_dir)/dmd.conf $(INSTALL_DIR)/bin/dmd.conf to: cp ../../$(OS)/$(bin_dir)/dmd.conf $(INSTALL_DIR)/bin/dmd.conf Will be addressed before final release of 2.066.0

The install target doesn't work/isn't maintained anyhow, the folder layout in src is messed up and it doesn't make much sense to deploy source code with binary releases in the first place. You can get working source archives directly from github, e.g. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/releases. I also wrote a small build script to work with github sources. https://gist.github.com/MartinNowak/c5f714fb16be96db13e5 It would be a little simpler with a meta repo as proposed in issue 11792.
