I have a bug report in mysql-native that if you try to create
the following file, and add mysql-native as a dependency it
fails to link on Windows 10:
import std.stdio;
import mysql;
void main()
{
writeln("Edit source/app.d to start your project.");
}
You might recognize that as the default dub file, with an extra
import.
The link error is:
testmysql.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_D5mysql12__ModuleInfoZ
So I figured I'd try dustmite, and used:
dub dustmite ..\dusted --linker-status=1
The result after almost 2 days: a bunch of directories with
mostly no d files, and no source code in any of the d files.
What did I do wrong? Is this even worth trying again? 2 days is
a long time to tie up my windows vm.

I think the behavior can be explained. Your search criteria
(linked status) is not precise. It can be triggered by the real
problem but also by a few empty d files. Therefore Dustmite did a
good job, it reduced your code base to a minimum which still
trigger a linker error.
You might search the linker error text instead.
Kind regards
