Already >1 year I consider to move from C++ to Dlang or to Rust
in my hobby game development (mostly based on physical
simulations
https://github.com/ProkopHapala/SimpleSimulationEngine). I
probably prefer Dlang because it compiles much faster, and I can
copy&paste C/C++ code to it without much changes.
But I cannot figure out how to jumpstart. The barrier is to
configure environment/libraries.
Up to now I was able to compile just "First Triangle example"
(Not sure from where I copyied it)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/myem3g69qjyo58v/AABZuvwuRDpnskhEC4AAK5AVa?dl=0
but when I tried to clone from github some more sophisticated
tutorials or demos it never works. Either it is Windows-only
(Visual Studio .snl, no dub;
https://github.com/Ingrater/Spacecraft), or there are some
dependencies on old versions of libraries, which I don't know how
to upgrade. Or it has some other dependecies which documentation
does not explain how to configure on linux.

These are some cases I tried (and problems I had):
