Hi, I'm learning D (obliviously) and I can't understand how exactly
dependencies work. I haven't found answers to my questions in
documentation (or i did't understand it), so can someone answer to mine
questions?
1. Does dub compile dependencies as separate binaries? And if yes how to
specify where should be they placed?
Object/static files, but yes.
Where they go:
Windows: %APPDATA%/roaming/dub
Posix: ~/.dub
You don't need to change this and if you think you do, you're wrong :)
2. It is possible to compile subpackage as a dynamic or static library
and link it to main binary file? Or just better create separate dub
package and use it as dependency?
Static yes, dynamic it won't link against (some bug last I heard).
Have to do that manually.
"dependencies": { "mypackage:subpackage": "*" }
Change as required for SDL.
