Completely new to D, and when trying to setup the toolchain,
Could you please specify the versions of macOS and DMD?
Probably DMD is broken for macOS - could you try to use LDC?
Maybe this thread is relative to the problem:

Thanks for the advice: I have installed dmd, dub, and now ldc
with brew. Versions below:
% dmd --version
```
DMD64 D Compiler v2.105.0

```
% dub --version
```
DUB version 1.34.0, built on Aug 1 2023
pacs@PACS-2019-MBPRO ~ % sw_vers
ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 13.5
BuildVersion: 22G74
```
% ldc2 --version
```
LDC - the LLVM D compiler (1.33.0):
based on DMD v2.103.1 and LLVM 15.0.7
built with LDC - the LLVM D compiler (1.28.1)
Default target: x86_64-apple-darwin22.6.0

```
% cat ~/.dub/settings.json
```
{
"defaultArchitecture": "x86_64",
"defaultCompiler": "ldc2"
}
```
(where defaultCompiler had been dmd before).
% dub run
```

So, ldc2 seems to work with dub, where dmd did not. The odd
thing though is, if you refer to my original post, is that I was
able to build successfully by directly invoking dmd.
