Program exited with code 1

There is on --config=client for the current version of dub so I 
went to the location of the source for experimental_allocator and 
ran dub build --build=release --config=library instead, which 
generated the missing file. Problem is I don't know how to fix 
this in your build instructions so that the compellation will 
resume or continue to completion. Please assist.

Thanks,

It fails on installing DCD. On the installation.bat just select 
2,3 and get prebuilt DCD binaries from the project page or build 
them yourself.

I could maybe add an option to compile from source and instead 
ship pre-built binaries from the github repositories instead.

Actually DCD doesn't have any pre-built binaries yet. But 
following the compilation guide on the project page¹ should help 
you compile it. Not sure if it works with LDC but it definitely 
works with DMD*

It's more than that. Now, it fails because it can't find DMD. 
Now, I see no reason to use both DMD and LDC. Ultimately I'd like 
to use DMD because it is the simplest to install for a newcomer 
but your workspace-d/code-d requires LDC on windows platforms. If 
that's the case why would it now be failing because it cannot 
find DMD?

As you can see in the build.bat from DCD it is hardcoded to DMD: 
https://github.com/Hackerpilot/DCD/blob/master/build.bat

So I guess you would need to use some DMD argument wrapper for 
LDC (ldmd) to compile it but I can't guarantee that it will work. 
Though if you have LDC v1.0.0 it should most probably work.

I would love to support DMD on workspace-d for windows but there 
is some bug in DMD's phobos causing workspace-d to hang every 
time you want to start the auto completion service. We found 
where it hangs but we couldn't find the cause or how to reproduce 
it yet. My best guess would be some win32 I/O functions are 
somehow wrongly used in there.

The LDC phobos version doesn't have any issue there.

But if DCD doesn't compile with LDC, I don't think there is a way 
other than getting both DMD and LDC right now except if you are 
on linux.

Maybe I should have been a little clearer. Following your 
instructions from earlier (skip DCD by selecting 2,3) the process 
failed again:

'dmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Error while compiling Dscanner.
Program exited with code 1

It's not that LDC cannot compile DCD in this case, it's that your 
build script is searching for DMD when it cannot use DMD.

Oh right it runs the build.bat from the Dscanner repository which 
is also hardcoded to DMD. So easiest way to build workspace-d 
right now is just getting DMD and LDC.

in the .bat you can try to replace "dmd" with "ldmd2". ldmd2 
allows to compile with LDC but with DMD command line interface. I 
can't guarantee that it gonna work but this is the simpliest 
option.
