Trying to get a dub sub package to output as a shared lib but for some reason I can only get it to output as a static lib.

dub.json
---
{
	"name": "tofueng",
	"targetType": "executable",
	"targetPath" : "game",
	"sourcePaths": ["eng"],
	"importPaths": ["eng"],

	"dependencies": {
		"tofueng:test": "*",
	},
	"subPackages": [
		{
			"name": "test",
			"targetType": "dynamicLibrary",
			"targetPath" : "game/libs",
			"sourcePaths": ["com/test"],
			"importPaths": ["com/test"]
		}
	]
}
---

Get tofueng_test.lib instead of tofueng_test.dll. If I try to build the sub package directly it builds the dll. What am I doing wrong?

Is this not doable?

I guess an alternative question, is there any way to have multiple binaries(an executable and a bunch of shared libs) built from a single dub package? Or should I just give up on trying to use dub for this...

This [https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/665] seems to be somewhat related to what I am trying to do, not sure if this got addressed at all though.

Actually.. if I do dub describe on the root package it lists both the exe and the lib as targets but the build settings for the lib has "targetType": 6 which according to dub/source/dub/compilers/buildsettings.d is staticLibrary... is this a bug or what?

omfg.... I should have read the build output more closely...right at the top "Dynamic libraries are not yet supported as dependencies - building as static library."... welp guess I give up then, 4 days waisted.
