The Dub manual says that:


name "mylib"
targetType "none"
dependency "mylib:component1" version="*"
subPackage {
	name "component1"
	targetType "library"
	sourcePaths "component1/source"
	importPaths "component1/source"
}


is reasonable. However whenever I try something of this sort I get:


Main package must have a binary target type, not none. Cannot build.

Change targetType to "library" and it should work.
It doesn't auto infer that it should be library since you have overriden that ability of it.

That isn't going to work because it then tries to build everything and then gets the dependencies wrong.
