I shouldn't be getting errors like this? I have about 50
packages in my dub.json and they all came from copying the
dependency directly(so no mistake on my part).
Some advices:
- do not use the "umbrella" packages like "dplug" but rather the
sub-packages like "dplug:dsp". This will reduce the number of
dependencies.
- cut the number of dependencies to the minimum. For example you
have freeimage AND imaged who overlap quite a bit.
More dependencies = more problems. Add them one by one IF they
are needed and after evaluating them.
- before relying on a dependency, check that it looks maintained,
has travis-ci integration, and build. Without editing anything,
you can do:
dub test thatpackage
anywhere and it should download and build the tests.
- if given the choice, use a derelict binding vs a statically
linked dependency. This will make things a tad easier.
