I've made my first attempt to use dub/vibe.d and I'm running into some issues I can't find on the list.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04/x86_64, using the latest stable dub (0.9.21). I can create a new dub project:

“””
$ dub init test vibe.d
Successfully created an empty project in '/home/csaunders/devel/csaunders/mongoSB/test'
“””

...but then I'm having trouble building:

“””
$ cd test
$ dub build --compiler=ldc2
vibe-d: ["vibe-d", "libevent", "openssl"]
test: ["test", "vibe-d", "libevent", "openssl"]
Building vibe-d configuration "libevent", build type debug.
FAIL ../../../../.dub/packages/vibe-d-0.7.19/.dub/build/libevent-debug-linux.posix-x86_64-ldc2-0C180158569265198380A4CE65BB2C41 vibe-d staticLibrary
Error executing command build: No LDC static libraries supported
“””

...I've tried a few variations on this but haven't had any luck. This is using the latest ldc:

“””
$ ldc2 --version
LDC - the LLVM D compiler (0.12.1):
  based on DMD v2.063.2 and LLVM 3.3.1
  Default target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

    x86    - 32-bit X86: Pentium-Pro and above
    x86-64 - 64-bit X86: EM64T and AMD64
“””

Any pointers?

Just curious, can you get it to work with DMD?

Also, you might consider posting on the Rejected Software forums (although this forum isn't a bad idea).

Thanks, I somehow missed the vibe.d forums...

I'd need an ldc solution in the end, but trying dmd is a good idea. The result is some kind of link error to libevent?:

Just a guess, but do you have the dev libraries for libevent installed?
