That bug is fixed for the last 3 releases (not including the current one in progress), that is, since v1.26.0. Is it at all possible (or even desireable) to construct a makefile that builds dependencies from outside of the source tree (namely `$HOME/.dub/packages/package_with_unknown_version-1.2.[0-9]+/`)? Does anyone have an example `Makefile` I could dissect? Thanks. In the past, I used https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/makd for building D code. But it doesn't do dependency management like dub, as it expected libraries to be in `submodules/`.

If cmake works, then cmake could generate a normal makefile :) Kind regards, Christian

Wait, dub can generate all those? I only knew about visuald build is just dub and doesn't emit any project files. But yes, it has two others (although idk how much they get used, or how complete).

[...] Don't have a Makefile to show, but I've done the following in the past when I have dub dependencies but need to use my own build system: - Create a subdirectory containing a dummy empty dub project (containing nothing but an empty main()), whose sole purpose is to declare dub dependencies that I need. - Run dub to retrieve and compile said dependencies, with --vverbose so that shows the actual compile commands (for extracting the pathnames of the compiled artifacts). - Copy-n-paste the compiled objects paths into my build system as object files / libraries to link against. In theory, the second step above can be automatically parsed to extract the needed paths, or even recompile after altering the command-line options, but I never got that far because I've since shelved the project (for reasons unrelated to dub).
