I downloaded from git but still get an error, though it's no 
longer the ddoc file error.

At this line (316-7),
$G\lexer.lib: $(LEXER_SRCS) $(ROOT_SRCS) $(STRING_IMPORT_FILES) $G
	$(HOST_DC)  -of$@  -vtls -lib -J$G $(DFLAGS) $(LEXER_SRCS) 
$(ROOT_SRCS)

I get
Error: 'of..\generated\windows\release\32\lexer.lib' not found

It looks to me as if at ' -of$@ ', the '-of' flag is supposed to 
specify the output file, but is being interpreted as part of the 
filename.

Does anyone know what the problem is?
