This is a bit embarrassing.

It seems that the samples fail because they use std.stream, which has been removed. Anyone want to fix them to use stdio instead?

Since dmd is shipped with DUB one can just put some embedded SDL descriptions and put undead as dependency.

A bit off topic but all these examples are very old-fashioned imho. Everything could be replaced with more idiomatic D code, using phobos.

Better to just fix them.

If you agree on the principle then let's rather make a call to contributions in another post ? I'm sure that many users will propose something. I'm volunteer to supervise the topic and eventually to make a common PR in DMD.

Another option, remove the samples, as suggested on IRC.

Seems like compiling the samples should be part of the regular CI builds.

Walter has already submitted a couple of fixes. Best leadership is by example, so if you're up for it please go ahead and post PRs for the fixes. Thanks! -- Andrei
