``$ dub build`` inside of ``myproject`` should work.
Thanks - that was helpful.
For anyone else with this issue I've figured out what went wrong.
I had more than one main() function in the project - I was using
the others as sandboxes to play with code.
I was building with ```dub .\source\myfile.d```.
But you need to run dub without a filepath to build the whole
project, including any 3rd party packages.
No doubt this is blindingly obvious to people used to working
with compilers, but it would be helpful to newbies if this was a
bit more explicit in the dub docs.
Again, if this helps anyone my current setup is to have a single
main() in app.d. I changed the main() in my sandboxes to
runSandbox(), and I import and run from app.d rather than
directly. Or with a couple of keystrokes I can switch to running
the full app. This seems to be a practical workflow that plays
properly with the build system.
If anyone has a better suggestion, I'd appreciate your tips.
