After I set up a dmd.conf file, I got more dub-related errors. What could be the matter? I'm using dub 0.9 22, built on Sep 2 2014. Error trail below. Please advise.

Looks like some of vibe's dependencies haven't been updated for the latest compiler. Dub builds with warnings on by default.

So who'd be the person to take care of this? Thanks! -- Andrei

I wrote about this issue earlier.
http://forum.dlang.org/post/543F790B.3050203@dawg.eu
It's a phobos regression that nobody seems to take care off.
I reposted the workaround in Bugzilla https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13621#c1.

All other issues should be fixed by now.

While specifying include and library paths on the dub command line can definitely be done. Not so sure whether that fits into dub's approach.
I think it is more a DPL problem setting up a simple build env from sources requires so many steps.

Fair enough. One possible argument is that setting the compiler entails setting flags, too (because e.g. gdc and dmd have different flags).

Well the question is how to move forward from where we are.

Not sure I understand. So should I change that code in array.d manually in order to build the docs? -- Andrei

I have no idea why it has not been done already. If PR introduces regression and author does not respons withing a day or two it must be reverted first and reasoned about after.

Dub has an abstraction shim to unify compiler flags.
http://code.dlang.org/package-format#build-requirements
http://code.dlang.org/package-format#build-options

You'd use `dub build -b release` for an optimzed build regardless of what compiler you chose.
