Yeah, D has a really bad experience in MacOS. If you want to
use it on mac, I suggest using LDC. And the package managers
doesn't do D justice. You want to get the zip and setup the

work.
The "D recommended way" to install is by using the install.sh
script, found at https://dlang.org/install.html
Thanks for letting me know! It's good to have other's
perspectives. Hope your game engine is coming along nicely :)
Looks like I got it working with the overly complicated Ubuntu
instructions (I used snap instead before because it was just
"snap install dmd" rather than 5 large shell commands!)... if
that still gives me trouble I will stick with the sh file you've
linked (there were so many options for installing the compilers
and I had to pick the worst one I suppose).
