Change targetType from 'sourceLibrary' to the implicit 'library'.

I'm not confident about using sourceLibrary in DUB.
For one, IDE projects generated by DUB for Sublime Text or VisualD don't show the imageformats source files.
Secondly, the advantage of compiling all-at-once are still there with --combined.

Can you provide some links about --combined? For some reason I can't find anything. Is it DUB's switch?

[p0nce]

Yes, it is documented on dub run -h, dub build -h or dub generate -h.

dub generate --combined visuald will generate all projects in a single .vcxproj, and similarly for Sublime.

--combined build tends to have more problems when the different packages have flags requirements.
But sourceLibrary would be affected as well. My angst with sourceLibraryis that I don't see many people use it, and I can almost feel the future problems coming our way :)

Never knew about it. Thanks.

You mean significant compilation time?

[p0nce]

No no, build problems. (Compilation time should be better for sourceLibrary and --combined)

For example, let's say I have a compiler codegen bug in LDC 17.0.x. By compiling in separate libraries I can use a DUB variable to disable optimization for this package, and done. But such a work-around doesn't work with --combined and sourceLibrary. They break locality of compile bugs because now any user package is affected. Example of such: AuburnSounds/Dplug#35

Basically I'm advocating for more separate compilation, because using sourceLibrary can reveal annoying because it limits choice for building. And it is very much a problem in my experience, --combined-type builds are easier to break.

Thanks.

Interesting. I need to dig into this. Thanks.
