In the current DMD, there is a typo in the declaration of getgrgid in Druntime (a fix is already committed). The workaround I used is to change the check to: 

static if( __traits(compiles, {import core.sys.posix.grp; getgrgid(0);}) ){

Thanx for explanation.

This fix is in v0.7.13, but I think the Debian package is still at v0.7.11. So three possibilities come to mind:

You're absolutely right.

  • Change the installed appmain.d file manually
  • Directly git clone the vibe.d repository instead of using the .deb package, as Matej suggested
  • Use DUB to build the project and put "vibe-d": ">=0.7.13" as a dependency in package.json

Personally, I would use the third option, as it makes all public DUB packages available for use and is a lot more powerful that the vibe tool.

Indeed, I think it's reasonable to use the DUB as a primary version management tool.

Thank You.
