Synopsis
dub generate <generator> [<package>[@<version-spec>]] Options...
Description
Generates project files using one of the supported generators:
visuald - VisualD project files
sublimetext - SublimeText project file
cmake - CMake build scripts
build - Builds the package directly
An optional package name can be given to generate a different package than the root/CWD package.
Options
- -b, --build=VALUE
Specifies the type of build to perform. Note that setting the DFLAGS environment variable will override the build type with custom flags. Possible names:
debug, plain, release, release-debug, release-nobounds, unittest, profile, profile-gc, docs, ddox, cov, cov-ctfe, unittest-cov, unittest-cov-ctfe, syntax and custom types- -c, --config=VALUE

- --override-config=VALUE
Uses the specified configuration for a certain dependency. Can be specified multiple times. Format: --override-config=<dependency>/<config>
- --compiler=VALUE
