I am currently using this dub.sdl

however I will be creating a number of plugins, each plugin
will consist of a single source file, I'd like the plugin
source directory to be separate from main source directory and
compile the plugins (.so) to a (binary) plugins directory
(the plugins will be dynamically loaded at runtime - I've
previously done this in C so I don't anticipate any particular
issues - famous last words!)
I could do this with a few simple rules in a Makefile, but I
have no clue how to achieve this using dub.
can someone show me a concrete example of doing this ? Ideally
just dropping a new source file into the plugins source folder
should produce a new .so the next time dub is run, without
having to explicitly add each plugin to the dub file...
You can use dub sub packages. Each plugin will be a dub package
with its own dub descriptor (sdl) file.
For your main dub sdl you set targetType to None.
Kind regards
