Any way of using dub (on Windows or OSX). I've been trying it lately, but not much success.

1. (In the command prompt or Terminal), I create a new folder.
2. Run 'dub init' in the new folder
3. I copy the dependency from a lib/app into the dub.json file.
4. Then I just enter 'dub'

In Windows I get this error (and others, but seems to go through): Failed to parse package description for dil  in C:\Users\Joel\AppData\Roaming\dub\packages\dil-master\.

I'm more interested in using OSX, for D.

Are you sure your package/dub.json is valid JSON? You can check it here:

It does pass.

There is a mistake in the dil package.json
excludedSourceFiles should be an array of strings, not just a string.

But I don't get those errors on my OSX.
