digitalmars.D - "More Libraries" - sub-forum request

Hi,
there is this nice new link to "More libraries" link, but there 
is no place to discuss usage, exchange experiences or ask 
questions regarding these libraries ( unless I am missing 
something ). A sub-forum here would be very nice.

Or would this here be the right place ?

I am trying out dimgui on win8, dmd 2.066.1 and now 2.067. Got 16 
warnings, no error, BUT: "Building .dub\lib\imgui_d.lib failed!"

How to debug this ?

Regards, ParticlePeter

digitalmars.D.learn would be more appropriate. A certain amount of discussion inevitably happens in response to release announcements in digitalmars.D.announce. Some things would be appropriate as github (or bitbucket, or wherever) issues in the relevant project. Discussions here (digitalmars.D) should - in theory - be relevant to core language/libraries development.

I will post my "how to debug" question there, but I think that the lib is kind of broken and it does not make sense to point this out in d.learn. Moreover, last work was don 7 month ago, and I even don't know if it was announced at all.

Not thought of that, as I might be missing something and wanted to ask before filing a bug.

I agree, questions regarding libraries do not belong here. But there is lot of talk going on lately about d ecosystem, shouldn't be there a place to discuss parts of such ecosystem in the d forum ? Having "digitalmars.D.dwt" and "digitalmars.D.dtl" sub-forum ( have you tried googling or search the d wiki for "dtl" ? ;-) ), but no d libraries, feels kind of wired.

Tag your post with [<library name>]. If threads with such tags get overboard we can consider a forum.

See my reply above, especially about "digitalmars.D.dwt" and "digitalmars.D.dtl". Those should be combined in digitalmars.D.libraries, and inside of this forum I would use [dimgui] in my topic.

If you're compiling with dub, I believe that warnings are by default treated as errors. I'm not sure if there's a switch to change that, but you could add wi to the compiler flags in dub.json.

Thank you very much, a similar idea solved the problem: in dub.json add "buildRequirements": ["allowWarnings"]
