I've created a directory bcm2835. Then within source/bcm2835 I have
bcm2835.d.
I run dub build, and file called libbcm2835.a gets built.
I type
dub list
and it reports
Packages present in the system and known to dub:
...
bcm2835 ~master: /home/pi/repos/cerbo/dsp/dlang/bcm2835/
So, some kind of success, presumably.
So then, in the app I want to build, I type
dub add bcm2835
but it says
Could not find package 'bcm2835'.
So, dunno, any ideas?
`dub add` *requires* the package to be hosted on the dub online
repository. `dub add` is like "lookup the latest version of package X
and add the dependency for that into my build". I agree it would be nice
for dub to glance at your locally-added packages.
You can `dub add-local` the package (as it appears you have done), and
*then* edit the dub.json or dub.sdl file directly to add the dependency
yourself. Then it will find the package when building.
I use this for private packages I'm not ready to publish.
