Building

--------

On a Posix system all tools can be built with:

```

make 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][dub-doc].
