Hi all,
I'm having a play with vibe.d. My system is Ubuntu 16.04, with ldc 0.17.1 (based on dmd 2.068.2) and dub 0.9.24 installed.
Having checked out vibe.d 0.7.28, the library itself builds fine, but dub test results in a linker error when it tries to build __test_libevent__:
Using pkg-config to resolve library flags for libevent, libevent_pthreads, libssl, libcrypto.

Looks like there's a missing -L=-lz in there, perhaps ... ? Can anyone advise on how to handle this?
Thanks & best wishes,
