Hello,

Ive been using Visual Studio 2015 Community + dmd for quite a 
while now. Because of the recent death of my SSD however I had to 
reinstall my whole development toolchain.

I compiled the game engine i am working on from the command line 
and it worked (dub build).
However using the generated visuald solution (dub generate 
visuald) i run into the following error:

     LINK : fatal error LNK1104: Datei     
"obj\debug\dummy\dragon2d\..\source\game\game.obj,P:\Projects\Dragon2D\engine\Dragon2D.exe,obj\debug\dummy\dragon2d\dragon2d.map,P:\Projects\Dragon2D\.dub\lib\d
agon2d_d2dlib.lib+" kann nicht geöffnet werden.
     Building P:\Projects\Dragon2D\engine\Dragon2D.exe failed!


This has not happend before. Again, if i build it from the 
command line it works out just fine. I put the whole log here: 
http://pastebin.com/JzGZ6dHP

Also a successfull build on the command line: 
http://pastebin.com/FX8hN5YA

The dub.json file the project uses: 
https://github.com/DregginGames/Dragon2D/blob/dev-0.3/dub.json

I use dmd 2.071.1, dub is 1.0.0 and visual d is version 0.3.43.

Has anyone encounterd this before or knows what is happening and 
can help me?

This looks as if the optlink command line is passed to the MS linker. 
Unfortunately the two programs have the same name (link.exe), so it is 
usually an issue with the PATH environment variable.

It seems you want to build a Win32 program, so please make sure that 
"$(DMDInstallDir)\windows\bin" is the first entry of the "Executable 
Paths" of "Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Visual D 
Settings->DMD Directories->Win32".

This however did not work as expected. I ended up removing the vs 
dirs completly... hmm. This might run into problems later.
