What error do you get with Digger?
Note that you the version on Dub just has been updated today:

https://github.com/dlang-bots/dlang-bot/pull/194#issuecomment-375993106

For building everything locally, it should be as easy as:

---
git clone https://github.com/dlang/dmd
git clone https://github.com/dlang/druntime
git clone https://github.com/dlang/phobos
cd phobos && make -f posix.mak -j10
---

(dmd + druntime are built automatically from Phobos)

I advise against rolling your own built script and reporting your 
issues either here, Slack or IRC.
If we can reproduce your issue, chances are that someone else 
will run into them too ;-)

BTW there's also this setup script:
