As Nick points out, you also have to have an sc.ini in the right place with
the right values and probably some other stuff that comes in the zip file but
isn't in git for whatever reason. But I haven't dealt with all of that in
Windows recently, so I don't remember the details. It's easier in Linux from
what I recall, but regardless, once it's set up all you have to do is update
the repositories and rebuild, and it works (though in Windows, you'll probably
have to copy the resultant dmd binary due to the lack of symlinks). The
situation with git should probably be improved though such that you can build
the whole chain with just what git gives you.
