          Issue ID: 17517
           Summary: DMD fails to build on amd64 debian jessie
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: jesse.duarte at zoho.com

I downloaded the latest source for DMD from https://dlang.org/download.html and
then executed:

make -f posix.make

The build failed when it could not make the target:
'../res/default_ddoc_theme.ddoc'. I then cloned from Github using the latest
source and the result is the same.



$make -f posix.make
