Are you really interested in doing winglib as a separate dub package?
If not you could just do a `dub init yourappname` which gives you the basic skeleton. something like:

.
├── dub.sdl
└── source
    └── app.d


then you replace app.d with your file + put your winglib with package.d into a subfolder under source ->

.
├── dub.sdl
└── source
    ├── app.d
    └── winglib
        ├── othermodule.d
        └── package.d


then a dub build will just build your project including the submodules ...

if you need a separate dub package then the other answers lead the way.

That's really helpful. All i need to do is re-arrange my folder setup. Thanks a lot. :)

if you want to do a separate package later on, you only have to change a little in your project setup, code can stay the same.

kind regards,
