rdub 1.1.1

rdub

RDUB is a front end for DUB, a D language build tool. It's designed to build a single source file specified on the command line, without having to edit the dub files: dub.json, dub.sdl, src/app.d, source/app.d

This tool is great for running examples and building/testing small projects! It's used in my other projects, dlang-beginners and dwtlib.

$ rdmd rdub -h

  rdub [-y] [-h] /path/source[.d] [dub args]

  -y    --yes  Overwrite ./src/*.*
  -h    --help This help information

  rdub            = run dub with defaults ./src/app.d or ./source/app.d

  rdub path/foo.d = run dub as follows:

  1. Copy /path/foo.d to ./src/foo.d
  2. Ask before deleting all other files in ./src to avoid more than 1 main()
  2. Run dub to build and run ./src/foo.d
  3. Pass all [dub args] to dub, except: -h or -y

  Requires: dub.json or dub.sdl must have name "yourexename" and targetType "executable"

Console Example

$ cd examples

examples-$ rdmd rdub -y console\hello

Performing "debug" build using dmd for x86.
example ~master: building configuration "application"...
Linking...
Running .\example.exe
Hello World.

DWT GUI Example

Requires dwtlib

$ dub fetch dwtlib //follow instructions to build the dwt library on your system

examples-$ rdmd rdub -y gui\hello_dwt.d -b=release

Performing "debug" build using dmd for x86.
example ~master: target for configuration "application" is up to date.
To force a rebuild of up-to-date targets, run again with --force.
Running .\example.exe

To run after editing or changing the source file, use the dub --force arg to force a rebuild.

examples-$ rdmd rdub -y --force gui\hello_dwt.d -b=release

Performing "debug" build using dmd for x86.
example ~master: target for configuration "application" is up to date.
Running .\example.exe
