However, after I wrote the dub.json and try to compile it as a test, I get this output:

I don't see anything in your config that jumps out at me as a potential cause of your problem (though, see below). Do you have the project in a git repository somewhere so I can troubleshoot?


                        {
                        "pixelperfectengine:pixelperfectengine": "*",
                        "derelict-sdl2": "~>2.1.0",

                        "derelict-util": "~>2.1.0"
,
                        "derelict-fi": "~>3.0.0-alpha.1"
                        },
        }
        ],
}


Two things, neither of which (probably) is going to cure your problem:

- You don't need the derelict-util dependency. All of the derelict packages are configured to use it. That's how dub works -- each package defines its own dependencies so you don't have to worry about them. Besides which, all of the derelict packages are configured to use derelict-util 2.0.x, not 2.1. Leave it out and dub will pull in the appropriate version.

- Don't mix the alpha versions of any of the Derelict packages with any of the non-alpha versions. I realize this isn't documented anywhere yet, but all of the alpha versions require derelict-util 3.0 alpha, which is binary incompatible with earlier versions of derelict-util. You should be using ~>2.0.3 for derelict-fi. When all of the alpha versions are finally finished, I'll document which versions are compatible.

The dependencies compile by themselves (as I don't like to use dub because of things like > this), I don't know what's the problem.

Don't let things like this turn you off of dub. It's an excellent tool. I was reluctant to use it at first because such tools had come and gone in the D community before. But once I did, I never looked back. I rarely have issues with it and when I do it's almost always because of user error.

One thing you might try is to delete the dub.selections.json that was created in your project directory (and the .dub directory for good measure), update the dependencies as I said above, and try again.
