In my pet project, I am using some C++ libraries. The main

functions (which use some other modules/projects/phobos).
My questions is, what is the "proper" building tool/way.
Do I extend my CMakeFile.txt with additional instructions,
which basically do a "dmd -c ...".
Do I use dub to compile the D part as a library, and use that
in the cmake file?
Do I use dub to compile the C++ part as well?
Surely somebody has done something similar.
Can you pinpoint me to some examples? I could go from there.
LDC is a (somewhat complex) project with D and C++ code (and
external C++ libraries).
I think it will help you if your main() is in D (such that
druntime is automatically initialized for you).
