The Build Utility
This is a tool to make it easier to build applications from their component source code, object code, and libraries. Traditionally, tools such as make were needed to pull together the related files to form an application. This utility works differently as it analyzes the source code and all its related files, to determine which files need compiling or recompiling, and which need linking. It then constructs the appropriate command lines for kicking off the process.

You can get a copy of the tool from

The DSource Build Project

For example, if the top level file in your application was called myapp.d, typically all you would need to do to compile and link this is 
build myapp

There is no need to create and maintain a makefile as all the relationships are worked out in realtime.
