Thanks for the tip. I think I managed to get it to work..

So not only did I have to change the compiler tools path, but 
also the path to the dmd I compiled earlier. And also there was a 
"*" in front of the compile command for some reason which made 
the whole thing not work. Every command actually has that in 
front of it for some reason...

```
unittest: $(SRCS) $(DRUNTIME)
   *"$(DMD)" $(UDFLAGS) ...
```

Whatever, that was very needlessly painful... build systems are 
terrible things.
