Building
On a Posix system all tools can be built with:
make -f posix.mak all
Using DUB as a build tool
Most tools can also be built with DUB:
dub build :ddemangle
Running DUB tools
Some tools require D's package manager DUB.
By default, DUB builds a binary and executes it. On a Posix system,
the source files can directly be executed with DUB (e.g. ./tests_extractor.d).
Alternatively, the full single file execution command can be used:
dub --single tests_extractor.d
Remember that when programs are run via DUB, you need to pass in -- before
the program's arguments, e.g dub --single tests_extractor.d -- -i ../phobos/std/algorithm.
For more information, please see DUB's documentation.
