I just started to dip my toes into vibe.d and I tried to stay on the beaten track. I downloaded vibe, and did the "First Steps" as recommended:

$ cd /path/to/my/projects
$ dub init <project-name> vibe.d

But when I try compiling the default code in app.d which is created after the "dub init" above, I get:

N:\VibeMyProject\MyProject\source>dmd app.d -IN:\vibe.d\source  -IN:\Deimos\openssl-master
N:\Deimos\openssl-master\deimos\openssl\bn.d(907): Error: matching '}' expected, not EOF
N:\vibe.d\source\vibe\templ\parsertools.d(12): Error: module metastrings is in file 'std\metastrings.d' which cannot be read
import path[0] = N:\vibe.d\source
import path[1] = N:\Deimos\openssl-master
import path[2] = N:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos
import path[3] = N:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\druntime\import

Isn't the first a syntax error and the second one I read that metastrings was Deprecated and it would be removed in March 2014.

I realize that vibe is a volunteer project, but the whole project seems so elegant and professional, I was expecting at least a successful compile.

I guess I'm really asking is before I go tweaking code, I want to make sure I haven't done anything bone-headed here?

thanks.

Oops.  Just realized that there is a Vibe discussion group I should have posted to.
Sorry.
