Hello,

I have thre source files in one directory:
gem.d
mc4ka.d
mc4kb.d

and I would like to bulld two executables. Both mc4ka.d and mk4kb.d have main() functions. Is this possible at all?

I realise that I could put these files in diffrent directories and make them all packages, but that seems like a big job for a small demo.

So far I have this, but can't get sub dependancies working. It just gives an error saying it can't build target none.

{
    "name": "mc4ka",
    "targetType" : "executable",
    "sourcePaths" : ["there are none"],
    "sourceFiles" : ["source/gem.d", "source/mc4ka.d"],
    "importPaths" : ["source"],
    "dependencies": {
        "derelict" : "~master",
    }
}

NOTE dub asserts if sourcePaths is empty

The following should work in theory, but there is currently no way to select a sub package for building. I'll try to get that added later today:

{
	"name": "mc4k",
	"targetType": "none",
	"dependencies": {
		"derelict": "~master"
	},
	"subPackages": [
		{
			"name": "a",
			"targetType": "executable",
			"excludedSourceFiles": ["source/mc4kb.d"]
		},
		{
			"name": "b",
			"targetType": "executable",
			"excludedSourceFiles": ["source/mc4ka.d"]
		}
	]
}

		}
	]
}

With DUB master you can now do dub build mc4k:a and dub build mc4k:b to build the individual sub packages.

Implemented by https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/dub/commit/e152d71c8133e79af068a5a7281d29bcd5484b1f.

Thanks. That was quick. I will take a look at this now. I am not very familiar with dub yet.

That works, thanks. typing dub build yeilds;

Error: Main package has target type "none" - stopping build.

is there any syntax to build both at the same time?

Not currently, but it's planned. See also issue
#97.

I see yes. Thanks for your help Sönke.
