I'm trying to use Dagon (https://github.com/gecko0307/dagon) for what I thought would be a simple enough project.
Initially the one thing I needed to do was to install Nuklear and Freetype 2.8.1 `Under other OSes you have to install them manually` as I'm running on Ubuntu.

I'm using dub and thought this would be a simple matter of adding some parameters to the .sdl file, however I'm finding it tricky figuring out what to add (or if I'm oversimplifying or overcomplicating things).

So I've found either a .h file here (https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear) or here has something I can compile to a .so file (https://github.com/Timu5/bindbc-nuklear).
However no matter where I put files or whatever dub.sdl parameters I use, I can't seem to get it to work.
My current sdl looks like:

name "test"
description "Test"
targetType "executable"
dependency "dagon" version="0.10.0"
libs "nuklear" platform="posix"
lflags "-L/usr/local/lib/"


My latest error is
```
error while loading shared libraries: libnuklear.so.4.0.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

```

If it's a simple dub config thing, can someone handhold me through what the best way to get this to work is? Otherwise which file (.h or .so) should I put where for it to get picked up?

TIA

bindbc-nuklear expects nuklear.so in /usr/local/lib. Or you can compile Dagon without optional libraries, using "Minimal" subconfiguration in your dub.json:

"subConfigurations": {
    "dagon": "Minimal"
}

Fonts and GUI will be unavailable then. You can also use "NoNuklear" and "NoFreetype" subconfigurations.

That is what the documentation says, but that doesn't seem to work for me.
I'm using an dub.sdl file rather than a dub.json, and using

```
dependency "dagon" version="0.10.0"
subConfigurations {
    "dagon" "Minimal"
}
```
but then I get
> Error: Nuklear library is not found. Please, install Nuklear.

I'll try with a dub.json but my understanding is both sdl and json should produce the same thing?

That's important! I changed my symlink in `/usr/local/lib` from `libnuklear.so` to `nuklear.so` and it works now.
