Check the github release page (or the DUB repository page) of each project for alpha or beta releases and try those. For example, for DCD [1] you can find 0.9.0-alpha.6, and for libdparse [2] there's 0.7.1-beta.1.

Sorry, I answered a question you didn't ask. workspace-d should be able to use any version of the tools you have installed as long as they are on the path. Just install it (you can download a precompiled binary) along with the tools, make sure they're all on the path, and then install code-d.

No No **NO**, don't tell him to use DCD 0.9.0-alpha.6. To anyone: use the master version. Right now it includes an important bug fix. Without this fix you'll experience a lot of crashes.

off topic for Parker specifically: can you look at https://github.com/DerelictOrg/DerelictLua/pull/7 ? The filename was no correct under linux.

Does Coedit have an option to trigger completion automatically while typing?

I recently upgraded my version of DMD to 2.074 and experienced this, and then found this thread.

Just wanted to say that in experimental_allocator-2.70.0-b1's package.d, on lines 252&253, change the std.typecons import to be static or remove it. This got everything except dscanner building, but that appears to be for reasons other than the experimental allocator.

Another solution: when you fetch dfmt/dscanner do

"dub fetch <package name> version=~master"
or replaces "~master" with the latest tag (for example "0.5.0-beta.5").

One problem with DUB is that it fetches the latest *stable* release.

Found a new way to successfully setup everything automatically: If git is installed, code-d will use it instead of dub.

Found an even better solution:
    build workspace-d manually
