Hello

Im brand new to D (loving it btw!) and have decided to build a largish windows project in the language. First question, is there a dub.json setup to have a dub build to generate multiple binaries in one call? Like a dll and a static lib. Seems like it would be easy maybe im missing something obvious? Like a configuration with multiple targetTypes.

Thanks
J

I saw this https://github.com/dlang/dub/wiki/Cookbook#creating-a-library-package-that-also-comes-with-an-executable

But it didnt result in creating both a dll or exe and a .lib

Yes, just do that (make multiple configurations)

You just have to build them separately:

dub build --config=library
dub build --config=application

Thanks Steve!, ya i know i can call build twice but i was wondering if there was any config magic for dub to make it output multiple library types in one call to build

As far as I remember if you set the targetType of the main package to none it build all the sub packages in one call. Therefore you have 2 sub packages instead of 2 configurations.

But I have to say I have never done it myself, but just saw the pr which should implement this behavior.

Kind regards

Here the example from the dub repository
