What I didn't say in the previous email is that if you are installing libraries not to the standard place you have to set some environment variables. In my case, consistent with the build instructions I gave for my case:

I finally got D unit testing working without having to include main, it was only a compiler flag away and with the help of other D programmers.

However that doesn’t mean I gave up on unit-threaded it’s just that I should start with using what is already provided by the language and if I happen to grow out of the basic tools then I will try again.  😊
