How do we tell dub to use gdc?

Hi,

How do we tell dub to use gdc? On Debian wheezy, the actual gdc bin is gdc-4.6. For any variation on:

$ dub --compiler=gdc-4.6

I keep getting the error message:

Error executing command run: Failed to invoke the compiler gdc-4.6 to determine the build platform: {
  "compiler": "gdc",
  "frontendVersion": 2055,
  "compilerVendor": "GDC",
  "platform": [
/tmp/dub_platform_probe.d:43: Error: function expected before (), not join(ret.data()) of type string
/tmp/dub_platform_probe.d:11: Error: cannot evaluate determinePlatform() at compile time
"    " ~ determinePlatform()
  ],
  "architecture": [
/tmp/dub_platform_probe.d:14: Error: cannot evaluate determineArchitecture() at compile time
"    " ~ determineArchitecture()
   ],
}

Thing is, unless I am really tired, It is nowhere to be found on how to tell dub to use a given compiler. I found the --compiler flag somewhere on the forum.

Thx,

Olivier
