I'm confused at what/where exactly D expect files to be for them to considered "installed".
D doesn't expect them to be anywhere. By default, the compiler will search relative to the current working directory, on any paths configured in dmd's config file, and on any paths you (or your IDE) give it via `-I` on the command line.
I strongly recommend against keeping libraries in the dmd source directory. You'll have to copy them over again on every new compiler install.
If Visual D doesn't yet support dub (I've not used it in a long while, so I don't know), then it's probably best to set up a common directory somewhere on your system. Just make sure not to put the package directory (e.g., in src/raylib, raylib is the package directory) on the import path, but the root source directory.
You'll probably want to keep any compiled library binaries on a common path, too, so that you can configure that in the IDE settings.
