There are a lot of interdependencies in the compiler, and the test suite is designed to flush them out. The cool thing is the test suite consists of cases that are already minimized! The suite also is designed to not take that long to run.

I don't know how to run it. I've tried this, in the "test" directory:

* Running ./do_test.sh, results in:

/do_test.sh: line 106: /combinations: No such file or directory

The path to "combinations" seems to be wrong, why is it searching in "/"?


* Running "make", results in that dmd can't find druntime or phobos. I actually don't know how this is supposed to work with the different repositories. There isn't a dmd.conf file in the repository?
