Perhaps I have a bit of a noob question, but how come I cannot
use any of the GTKd headers on GCD? On DMD there's no header
that works. I tried to use dub to install the GTKD libraries,
but without any luck. Everytime I try to compile the libraries,
I get:
dub doesn't "install" anything. It puts packages in a cache in
your home directory so that when you build a project using a DUB
configuration it can find them. The idea is that you don't even
need to download such libraries -- add them as a dependency to
your project's dub.json or dub.sdl configuration and running `dub
build` or `dub run` will download the dependencies if they aren't
already in the cache [1].
If you don't want to use dub to manage your project, then it's
best to use `dub fetch --cache=local libfoo` to pull the libfoo
package down somewhere outside of the cache. I have instructions
on how to do that with the Derelict packages at [2], but they
apply to any dub-managed library. You'll just need to specify the
import path to the compiler and the library path to the linker
when you build (or copy them to your system paths manually).
