I just created a new vibe.d project using dub, all fine. Well
once I had
solved the libevent problem. Then, as the project is to be a

I added a gtk-d dependency. I tried building the empty project
and the
binary comes out at 42MB. Not only that there are two copies of
it one
in . and one in ./.dub/build. I was gobsmacked, this isn't Go,
there
should be dynamic linking by default. Is this something I have
missed?
There ought to be a clean target for dub as well as a build and
run
target for dub, or have I missed something?
Re GtkD, when I run the "Hello World" vibe.d web server with
GtkD doing
nothing, I get:

In an earlier thread here, Mike Wey's response was "download
libgtkglext
and build it yourself". I am not sure this is the right
approach. Debian
packages GNOME 3 quite well but they do not have this
libgtkglext-3.0.so.0 and yet things work. I think mayhap GtkD
should
have this as an optional dependency rather than a mandatory
one. Or am I
missing something?
For some reason GtkD uses some unreleased version of Gtk with
some OpenGL features. You can use the "normal/stable" variant by
adapting your dependency a little:
"dependencies": { "gtk-d:gtkd": "~master" }
Not sure, why GtkD does this. There are also no versions, just
"~master".
