| − | This page explains commonly used commands that are used while working with the <tt>[https://dlang.org dlang.org]</tt> repository which among many other things is used to build the language specification and library documentation of the D programming language.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Changes to <tt>phobos</tt> documentation require that the site (which includes automatically generated <tt>phobos</tt> documentation) builds successfully. Alternatively to building the documentation locally, you can use the documentation autotester service, which will build documentation, generate a diff of the results, and add a link to your GitHub pull request.

| − | The following will clone the <tt>dlang.org</tt> repository:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
| |
| − | cd ~/dlang
| |
| − | git clone https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org
| |
| − | cd dlang.org
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Furthermore, all of <tt>dmd</tt>, <tt>druntime</tt>, <tt>phobos</tt>, <tt>tools</tt> are needed for the site to build.
| |
| − | The instructions below will build the site to <tt>~/dlang/dlang.org/web</tt>.

| − | = Build new Phobos documentation =
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are just interested in previewing your change to Phobos documentation, the <tt>html</tt> and <tt>phobos-prerelease</tt> will save time:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
| |
| − | make -f posix.mak html phobos-prerelease
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Of course, parallelizing with <tt>-j</tt> improves speed as well.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To informally test it, open the appropriate HTML documents in that directory. Note that the currently released phobos would be in <tt>~/dlang/dlang.org/web/phobos</tt>, whereas the current (fresh) build of phobos's documentation will reside in <tt>~/dlang/dlang.org/web/phobos-prerelease</tt>.
| |
| − | So, for example, if you change the embedded documentation in <tt>~/dlang/phobos/std/conv.d</tt>, the changes are visible in <tt>~/dlang/dlang.org/web/phobos-prerelease/std_conv.html</tt>. (The build process replaces the slashes in submodules with underscores.)

| − | = Avoiding network traffic =
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that one of the first lines output during the <tt>make</tt> run looks like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <tt>LATEST={{Latest DMD Version Raw}} <-- place in the command line to skip network traffic.</tt>
| |
| − | | |
| − | That's advice worth heeding because fetching <tt>LATEST</tt> automatically involves network traffic, which adds time to the build. So for future builds use this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | make -f posix.mak LATEST={{Latest DMD Version Raw}} html phobos-prerelease
| |
| − | | |
| − | = Full build =
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that the full build all of the documentation in all forms, including Kindle builds and various other things that may require installing additional tools, and may download/build old versions of DMD. This may take some time and can be run with:
| |
| − | | |
| − | make -f posix.mak
| |
| − | | |
| − | Or if you want to avoid network traffic:
| |
| − | | |
| − | make -f posix.mak LATEST={{Latest DMD Version Raw}}
