make[1]: Leaving directory '/dev/shm/dtest/work/repo/dmd/src'
make: *** No rule to make target '../druntime-2.074.1', needed by '.generated/modlist-2.074.1.ddoc'. Stop.

Hmm the git clone targets are absolute (due to $(PWD)) as well.
How about replacing the first git clone rule with sth. like this?

${DMD_DIR}-${LATEST} ${DRUNTIME_DIR}-${LATEST} ${PHOBOS_DIR}-${LATEST} ${TOOLS_DIR}-${LATEST} ${INSTALLER_DIR}-${LATEST}:
	git clone --depth=1 -b v${LATEST} ${GIT_HOME}/$(word 1, $(subst -, ,$(notdir $(@F)))) $@

Please no realpath, it resolves symlinks, and the final paths (which may be temporary and expose implementation details) end up all over the place, sometimes even in outputs.

[MartinNowak]

It's what we've used during the previous years, but I could use make's abspath if that helps.

[CyberShadow]

Yes please.

This is unrelated to this change and was introduced here #1687 (comment).

Maybe, but it would fix the broken build on DAutoTest.

[MartinNowak]

See #1772 @wilzbach.
And again, I'd rather we spent time to finish the last few missing bits for ddox than throwing even more at the ever more complex ddoc build.

[MartinNowak]

Also fixes the clone targets now.

[wilzbach]

Thanks!

MartinNowak wants to merge 2 commits into dlang:stable

Btw as master gets auto-deployed on dlang.org, we could also declare stable as default branch for dlang.org if that makes your life easier?

It's fine for the moment and not much effort.
