I've been trying to figure DUB out and have been having a bit of
trouble. I'm trying to make a simple program that uses Derelict
GL3 and SDL2. I keep getting this error though:

derelict.util.exception.SharedLibLoadException@C:\Users\Kyoji\AppData\Roaming\dub\packages\derelict-util-1.0.1\source\derelict\util\exception.d(35):
Failed to load one or more shared libraries:
         SDL2.dll - The specified module could not be found.

I'm not sure how to get that .dll, I tried doing 'dub upgrade'
but that didn't do much.

Here's what some of my files look like:
app.d :
------------
import std.stdio;
import derelict.opengl3.gl3;
import derelict.sdl2.sdl;

void main()
{
	writeln("Edit source/app.d to start your project.");
	DerelictGL3.load();
	DerelictSDL2.load();
	DerelictGL3.reload();
}
-----------

dub.json :

-----------

{
	"name": "testbuild",
	"description": "A minimal D application.",
	"copyright": "Copyright © 2014, Kyoji",
	"authors": ["Kyoji"],
	"importPaths": ["lib/"],
	"dependencies": {
		"derelict-gl3": ">=1.0.2",
		"derelict-sdl2": ">=1.2.1",
		
	}
}

----------

I setup a lib folder from the project root, and I have the source
files for the packages under 'import'.

Is the only thing I'm missing the .dll's?

Thanks!

Yes, everything went fine, and you find the missing DLL here: https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

Derelict contains bindings to other libraries, not these libraries themselves. dub downloads only these bindings, not original libraries (since they are written in C, not D, and not included in dub repositories). You should manually get necessary libraries and put them in folder where .exe will be placed or in some path from PATH environment variable, so application would be able to find them at runtime.
