How to build a package as application ?

I'm a newbie with D language, and my first problem ever is: I have a hello world program build with DUB on Linux, but the program as marked as "application/x-sharedlib" and not "application/x-executable" (in properties of the file): so, I can't able to execute the program from the file explorer (need to do ./helloworld within a terminal).

Executable is automatically chosen if you have a source code file with name "app.d". Otherwise set targetType to executable in your dub.json. Kind regards André

Who decide if a file is an application or a sharedlib ?

It sounds like this is a bug in your file explorer's file-type detection code. If it works in the terminal, it should work in the file explorer too.

If it works in the terminal, it should work in the file explorer too. DUB and DMD (for example) are correctly detected as applications.

What file manager are you using? Could you perhaps upload an example binary that gets detected wrong?

If it works in the terminal, it should work in the file explorer too. After verification, it's not a bug from the file explorer but the problem come from DUB or DMD... because, I'm able to open my program with a file archiver and see its contents (it's not possible with a real application).

I'm on Debian 10, with Nautilus (v3.30.5) as file explorer. You can download the helloworld program with this link: https://mega.nz/#!rY1QWIhK!lKyIX192OEfKM8MsZ_WW_QNryl39yCQebkXts2qn7E0
