Hi,

I'm just starting out with D and vibe, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask vibe questions.

After installing DUB (dub-git on Arch Linux) and specifying vibe-d as a dependency of my project in 'package.json', I ran 'dub upgrade' and vibe was installed. However, I can't start vibe as the bin file isn't found. It's installed local to my user with vibe in ~/.dub/packages/vibe-d-0.7.15/bin

This the recommended way to install vibe according to docs on the site. How have others installed vibe?

Thanks in advance.

I believe that this is the correct place to ask:

http://forum.rejectedsoftware.com/groups/rejectedsoftware.dub/

but if the main D forums were the place to ask, D.Learn would be better. Regardless, when you install dependencies via dub, I believe that it normally installs them in the .dub directory of your project, which works just fine for libraries (which I thought that vibe was, though I've never used it). I don't know how you'd deal with calling programs that were installed as executables.

Regardless, the link I gave you is to the dub-specific forums, so while some folks here may be able to help you, the folks there definitely can.

Thanks, I'll ask there.

I am in the camp of "forum hater" which I know means 50% of people hate me, but… if stuff doesn't arrive in my email it doesn't exist.  I am assuming that although VibeNews behaves as an NNTP newsgroup as well as a classic Web-based forum, it doesn't support SMTP mail interaction.

Perhaps this could be an evolution? Perhaps then the infrastructure could be used for all D activity as a "dog fooding" activity?

You'll have to take that up with the rejectedsoftware folks. It's their forum. The main D forums are set up to use newsgroups as their backend while allowing users to also interact via a web forum and e-mail, but AFAIK, they are unique in that regard. So, I wouldn't expect anyone else to be doing that unless they used the same software - which the rejectdsoftware folks could do, but it's up to them. On a related note, I believe that Vladimir was looking making the main D forums' software use vibe.d, but I don't know where he is with that.

I typically access the Rejected Software "forum" fine through NNTP, like
with the D groups themselves. It appears to work fine.

Vibed.org forums are similar but use own vibe.d-based front-end instead of DFeed.
