Re: Dub and what it does

For my (very) early stage GtkD program, my SCons script (using "all
source at once") generates a 6MB executable that works. Dub appears to
think that it is creating a .a archive and create 142MB of it. So how to
create an executable with Dub?
I statically build GtkD application using dub and it gives me binary 
about 14 Mb in debug mode and stripped binary is about 8 or 6 Mb. But I 
built GtkD separately and link against it using the following package.json:

{
    "name": "renderer",
    "targetType": "library",
    "versions": [
        "Derelict3",
        "gl3n",
        ],
    "libs": [
        "gtkd-2",
        "gtkdgl-2",
        "dl",
        "DerelictGL3",
        "DerelictUtil",
        "DerelictFI",
        "gl3n",
        "glamour",
        "curl",
    ],
    "importPaths": [
        "~/.dub/packages/gtk-d-master/src",
        "~/.dub/packages/gtk-d-master/srcgl",
        "~/.dub/packages/derelict-gl3-master/source",
        "~/.dub/packages/derelict-fi-master/source",
        "~/.dub/packages/derelict-util-1.0.0/source",
        "~/.dub/packages/gl3n-master/",
        "~/.dub/packages/glamour/",
    ],
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "test",
            "targetType": "executable",
            "sourcePaths": ["test"],
        }
    ]
}

So it's a hack, but it works for me - I have fast compilation at least.
I did the following - fetched packages I need, built every package using 
dub and copied libs to /usr/local/lib - probably it's better to use path 
to libs instead of copying.
