I gotta release a point release soon anyway because today a bug causing slow startup and maybe 50% of the docking problems has been fixed. https://github.com/Basile-z/dexed/issues

I just tried and here is the complete guide to register an entry in the library manager. 1. in the repo root run make to get the static libraries generated 2. in dexed add a new library manager entry (icon with a book and a "+") 3. set the alias to "gtkd" (icon with a book and a pen) 4. set the source path to /generated/gtkd (icon with a folder and a "+") 5. set the static library file to the "libgtkd-3.a" file that should have been generated in the repo root. (icon with a folder and a brick) This has to be done manually because the json DUB project is cannot be registered automatically since it's more a meta project, or however this is called. Then when you compile a runnable with "Compile file and run" the libman entry will be used to solve the import path automatically, and the static library file will be passed automatically as well. For the dexed projects, as explained yesterday, the "libraryAliases" property must contain "gtkd". Note however that here I got linkers error (multiple definition of...), no idea why.

There's two different things here. 1. "Compile File and Run" It's for the scripts-like program, i.e single module. For this, the dependencies must be registered in the "library manager". An entry defines the import path (the dmd -I option), and the static library file (*.a, *.lib depending on the platform), and a few others fields. When you execute the action "Compile File and Run", the source is analyzed and the rights imports are automatically passed to DMD, if the matching lib is registered in the libman. 2. Dexed projects. The "native" project format was created before I understood that DUB was the official way to make a D project so it's somewhat not recommended to use it, although it works (for example at some points I had translated non trivial projects, such as dlangUI, to this format, and I still have a few stuff working using them). In this case as you've been said you have the dmdOtherOpts, which can be used to pass whatever you want and will be passed to DMD as is, after (however) the IDE variables expansion. see https://basile-z.github.io/dexed/widgets_dexed_project_editor#other-options for more details. But the dexed project format can also use the library manager. In this case, just like for the "runnable modules" the libraries must be registered in the library manager. Then you specify the alias of the dependencies in the project, see https://basile-z.github.io/dexed/widgets_dexed_project_editor#general-options (libraryAliases). example: https://github.com/Basile-z/kheops/blob/master/kheops.dprj#L58 ___ Finally: the most important thing is to register the library in the libman. https://basile-z.github.io/dexed/widgets_library_manager#library-manager

I managed to get dexed to compile a single-file dub project, but for completeness sake, I'm also trying to configure it to use dmd (non-dub) to compile GtkD projects using Compilation (menu) > Compile File and Run.
