Phobos' makefiles for windows are outdated and make building process significantly harder than it should be. DMD's makefiles contain necessary information to build with Visual Studio 2017 and 2019, and phobos requires VIsual Studio 2015 or below. I managed to get it working in the end, but I think the changes should be done by someone knowledgable in D build environment

Could you please elaborate on what kind of build errors you encountered or what build steps have been failing? Also, if you have already fixed most of these, feel free to open a PR and the reviewers will aid you in the process of fixing. Even if you don't want to open the PR yourself, it would be very useful to have more information on what exactly is failing and the proposed patch.
