What is the best way to get a list - for a given configuration - of include directories, library directories, libraries, version flags etc...

I need to get this info to pass to another build system (celeriD)

dub describe (with the appropriate configuration/architecture flags).
The output is in JSON format, so it still needs to be transformed to
whatever celeriD needs. An alternative would be to write a "generator"
similar to the VisualD one, which directly outputs a celeriD compatible
build description.

dub describe doesn't give different information about dependencies when --config is changed. All that appears to change is the "configuration" field for the root package.

That would be a bug, do you have a reproduction case you can share? It's
definitely intended to give information about the exact build
configuration that was given - recursively applied to the dependencies.

P.S. there's something really off with this text box in the forum, it expands downwards by a few pixels with every keypress, even just arrow keys.

For which browser/version is that? The vertical scaling was quite hairy
and I settled for a simpler solution than anticipated especially to
avoid such glitches, but apparently that was not enough :(

linux x64 firefox 30.0

I also see <br> tags everywhere in the forum itself (not the input box). In addition, the preview pane is erratic in it's updates, it sometimes works instantly, other times (in particular on code blocks) it doesn't do anything until something else is changed.
