Executable in /workspace/[Project Name]/d Doesn't Exist

[MggMuggins]

I don't know if this is a problem with the DDT (pretty sure it's not), or just something I did wrong with installation (probably this one, but I figured this was the best place to come for help), but I'm getting an error when I try to launch the project. Error:

'Launching [Project Name] - (default)' has encountered a problem. Executable file (/home/[Me]/workspace/[Project Folder]/d) doesnt exist.

I'm a newbie to Eclipse and D in general, but I think I have enough of a clue that I can get this running. This error happens when I press the "Run" button. I can use eclipse to write my source files, and then compile with the dmd and run with the command line, but that is a pain, and frankly would be nice to see eclipse do what I tell it to. Probably just making some mistake, but enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. (I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, if that changes anything, also (what I think) is the latest version of the DDT (installed it yesterday) and eclipse (Neon 4.6, installed via the installer)). ~Sam

After you try to launch the project, check the console view for the D build output, see if there is anything wrong there.

[MggMuggins]

The terminal output is as follows (Quite short): \ Building D project: D **

Running: /usr/bin/dub build Performing "debug" build using dmd for x86_64. d ~master: building configuration "library"... ^^^ Terminated, exit code: 0 ^^^ \ Build terminated. **

Edit: Sorry about the formatting...

[bruno-medeiros]

If it says building configuration "library" then it's not generating any executable. Do you have a main function in your code? DUB needs to find it to be able to generate an executable

[MggMuggins]

There are the first few lines of code, including my imports. There is a closing curly brace at the end of the program.

[bruno-medeiros]

Where is that source file located?

[MggMuggins]

in

/home/[My Name]/workspace/[Project Name]/src

where workspace is my eclipse workspace and [Project Name] is my project. I am running on Linux, as you may be able to tell by the path. I did update this workspace from the version of eclipse that is in the Ubuntu repositories, so it might be an issue with that.

[bruno-medeiros]

I can't figure out what's wrong. In any case, if you open the command line and run dub build in the project directory, and you still don't get an executable, it's not a DDT problem any way.

[MggMuggins]

I ran that, and there are some dub files there, but there is no exec in the project directory. I have no idea why this would be. I'm going to try deleting the files I created using the dmd and see if that does anything...

EDIT: Alright, I did that, and nothing. Here is the output from the terminal, and the contents of the .projecct file. The terminal printed the same (what is below) both times I ran the dub command. And I'm having trouble making this code display. Editing my comment should show you everything you need to know.

Terminal Output:

Performing "debug" build using dmd for x86_64. d ~master: building configuration "library"...

.project is an Eclipse / DDT file, and the dub describe output is also related to DDT - but this is irrelevant if when you run dub build on the command-line you don't get an executable. You need to figure out the problem there first, the IDE/editor you are using won't matter.
