I've this dub.json
{
	"name": "ega_editor",
	"description": "Editor for ega database",
         "targetType": "executable",
         "targetPath": "bin",
         "dependencies": {
           "sdlang-d": ">=0.8.4",
           "ddb": ">=0.2.1",
           "dejector": "~master",
           "gtk-d:gtkd": ">=2.3.3"
	}
}
and under linux it works well.

Under WinXp I got the following

AFAIK, D is not officially supported on Win XP.

That's probably why you don't have a meaningful stacktrace or error message.

Thank you for your reply...

The strange thing is that it worked yesterday and not today. I
have also tried with Win7 64bit (on Virtual Box) and the problem
it's the same...

The problem was on ddb 0.2.1 ... if I remove it I can compile

Did you try a full rebuild? dub --force sometimes helps, especially when you've upgraded your compiler.

Well, after many attempts, I have found what is causing the
problem.

My dub.json :
```
{
   "name": "ddb_test",
   "description": "A minimal D application.",
   "dependencies": {
       "gtk-d:gtkd": ">=2.3.3",
       "ddb": ">=0.2.1"
    }
}

```

My source (source/app.d):
```
import ddb.postgres;
import gtk.Window;

int main(string[] argv) {
    return 0;
}
```

On linux works, on WinXp and Win7 64bit I get following:

```
$ dub build --force
Building ddb 0.2.1 configuration "library", build type debug.
Running dmd...
Building gtk-d:gtkd 2.3.3 configuration "library", build type

```

If I comment just a row on app.d:
```
import ddb.postgres;
// import gtk.Window;  <= !!!!

int main(string[] argv) {
    return 0;
}
```
it works!

Is it a GtkD or ddb or optliker problem?

Incidentally if I try release version (on linux and Win):

```
$dub --build=release
