Hi,

I am very new to D, I just started with it a week ago or so, and
I haven't really been using compiled languages before (except for
Java), so I'm pretty confused with the whole thing in general. ;)

I try to use the ncurses library in my project using:


"dependencies" : {
     "ncurses" : "~master"
},
"lflags" : ["-v"]


But when I try to compile it, I get the following:


@(#)PROGRAM:ld  PROJECT:ld64-236.4

I have no idea where to go from here to be honest. It's probably
something easily fixed for someone even a tiny bit more
experienced.

I would love some help if anyone feels up to it.

Have you actually installed ncurses on your system?

I will try this, but I did a search/info with homebrew and it said it was not recommended because OS X already has ncurses installed by default. Something about conflicts that could possibly occur. I found libncurses.dylib and such already installed in /usr/lib.

It worked perfecly. I knew I had missed something stupid. :)

What confused me was the homebrew warning.

Thank you for helping a newbie out. :)
