Hello guys,
I'm trying to install Derelict3. I read a lot of thing and I
lost myself between this huge set of information. What I must
do ? First, I try to build Derelict3 (github version) manually
but I failed. So I tried with dub. But I don't understand how
to use dub.
My OS is Ubuntu.
Could you help me ? Could you explain me step by step ? Advice

I know it's a noob behavior, I'm sorry about that.
Thanks
So dub the build manager.
Basically in summary dub compiles a D program along with its
dependencies.
It utilises a compiler such as dmd, gdc or ldc depending on which
is installed or instructed to use.
It utilises a registry (code.dlang.org) of packages it knows
about. It also has a locally stored registry for local to user
packages.
To initialise a new project using dub to build it do:
$ dub init
Assuming it is installed and ready to go.
If you need help take a look at my video on ApplyYourDLang[0].
Its on windows, but it may help. Including about the D-APT
repository [1].
After initialising the repository try:
$ dub run
It will compile it and if successful run it.
You want to look at the dependencies section on [2]. So an
example dependency section for derelict-gl3 might be:
{
"name": "my program",
"dependencies": {
"derelict-gl3": "~master"
}
}
Extremely simple example. Now see "~master"? You should replace
that with a version such as 0.1.2 or something. You can find this
on the tags (starts with a v) on the github repository. It is the
format of Semver.
