I'm still trying to make this work, but stuck with no clue... I think setting sodlib path in settings helped somewhat. At least errors are gone and seems to have detected the build type and compiler. How do I build & run the executable though? | |||

However, for the last couple hours I am ready to pull my hair out as I have no idea how to compile even a simplest hello world app. I installed ldc and dub (nowhere on the download page did it even mention that dub should be installed separately!) from home-brew, installed code-d for vscode, used the plugin to create a new project and that is as far as I've gotten. For example the plugin prompts me to "Compile serve-d", however doing so just fails with: And so on and so forth. Am I missing something obvious? Mhh ... imho the install.sh on the homepage is not pushed enough. For me this is the best (for installing the compiler and dub and the tools that come with it). For Apple Silicon ldc is the best choice (again imho). After sourcing the activate script in the respective folder (default ~/dlang/COMPILER_VERSION/activate(.fish)) you are setup nicely with dub, so VSCode I am not so familiar with. Kind regards, | |||

I know you got things going with LDC, but I use GDC for all my D needs on macOS. I have a tarball that's a simple extract, add to PATH, and done: https://github.com/ibara/aarch64-apple-darwin24.2.0-gcc-14.2.0/releases/tag/20250112 | |||
