You may need to specify where the other includes are with -I (not sure what the exact error is you are receiving). I'm fairly certain D can do what you want it to do. But difficult to tell without more context/example. -Steve So it seems that I still have to include all of the interfaces (at least; source would work too), but I got it to work by adding the -I operator: html_documentation : $(htmldocs) $(htmldocs) : $(SRCDIR)/documentation/html/source/$(PACKAGE_SLUG)/%.html : $(SRCDIR)/source/$(PACKAGE_SLUG)/%.d $(DCOMPILER) -o- -op -d -I$(SRCDIR)/source $(SRCDIR)/source/macros.ddoc -Df$@ $< Since I am not producing binaries (per the "-o-" flag), I don't know if it is still doing all the work of compiling and just not writing the files to disk, or if it is just doing some basic lexing, but this is at least acceptable. Thanks for getting my noggin joggin'!

It kept causing error messages in my package manager and I couldn't update it properly so I've just stuck to downloading the updates on release. If we are talking about D-Apt here http://d-apt.sourceforge.net/ it seems to be working fine for me on Debian Sid. 2.075 just installed this morning. I stopped using it a while ago as it was constantly causing me problems with being unable to check for new package updates. It was right when sourceforge was issuing security warnings and I couldn't be bothered to try and deal with it. Just following up on this, because I had the same problem: 1. Use wget or curl to download the .deb right from the archive wget http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2018/dmd_2.080.0-0_i386.deb 2. Try to install it with dpkg dpkg -i dmd_2.080.0-0_i386.deb ### If you experience errors, add the following steps. If not, skip them. 3. Update your cache sudo apt-get update 4. Download the dependencies, if you need to. In my case, I needed libc6-dev and gcc, which you *would normally* install like so: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev gcc But I had errors when trying to do that, which were resolved by running: sudo apt --fix-broken install ### 5. Finally, run `dmd --version` to test that it works!
Concatenate strings at compile-time
I have a method that cannot be @nogc only because it concatenates strings for a long exception message, as seen below. throw new ASN1ValuePaddingException ( "This exception was thrown because you attempted to decode " ~ "an INTEGER that was encoded on more than the minimum " ~ "necessary bytes. " ~ notWhatYouMeantText ~ forMoreInformationText ~ debugInformationText ~ reportBugsText ); Those variables you see are immutable. Is there a way that I can combine these strings together at compile time, rather than having a really long string that exceeds the 120 hard line-length limit?
Static Analysis / Code Scanning Tool (SAST) for D?
Does anybody know of a SAST tool that can scan D code for security vulnerabilities? In other words, does anybody know of something that will analyze raw D source code for security vulnerabilities that the human eye may have missed?
Split Real / Float into Mantissa, Exponent, and Base
I have tried to come up with a good way to get the mantissa, exponent, and base from a real number, and I just can't come up with a good cross-platform way of doing it. I know about std.math.frexp(), but that function only gives you another real as the mantissa. I need an integral mantissa, exponent, and base. Is there either (1) a crafty, cross-platform way of doing this or (2) a function in a standard library that does this that I somehow missed? If there is no such function, what are your thoughts on me implementing such a thing and submitting it to Phobos, probably similar to how frexp is implemented (elseifs for each FP format)?
