Building projects depending on dub

[atilaneves]

I didn't implement all of dub because I didn't need it and nobody else was
complaining about it. The other problem is that "dub describe" isn't
particularly well implemented at the moment, mostly because I'm probably
the only one using it for build information.

You can't read the file system at compile-time but you don't have to. All
the examples and the build descriptions I usually write are compile-time
only because they're simpler, but you can use runtime code as well. The
only requirement of a reggaefile.d file is there be one and only one public
function with the signature Build function();. So, to read the
file-system, don't use the build template mixin and write this instead:

Build mybuild() {
auto target1 = Target(...);
//...
return Build(target1, target2, ...);
}

As I understand it, reggae won't currently build more complex dub projects
like vibe-d because it doesn't implement the full dub build rules. Please
correct me if I am wrong (and if you can show logic to build one of the
vibe-d examples using reggae that would be great).

That's fine because one can just build them separately, set the import
paths so the project is found, and static link to the library files.
However dub projects put the source files in different locations (sometimes
its source, sometimes src, sometimes deimos, and sometimes there is an
additional degree of nesting). One can't read the file system at compile
time.

Is there a way to do what I want? Use reggae to build my own projects -
these being composed of multiple static libraries and some source files
depending on them, but also everything depending on some code.dlang.org
modules, including, but not only vibe-d.

Thanks.

Laeeth.

Thanks, Atila. Only really need it myself for vibed, and sounds like your answer above addresses best way.

Are you going to dconf ?
