Here is my meson.build file
---------------------------
project('demo_proj', 'd',
   version : '0.1',
   default_options : ['warning_level=3']
   )

mir_alg = dependency('mir-algorithm', method: 'pkg-config')
lubeck = dependency('lubeck', method: 'pkg-config')
required_deps = [mir_alg, lubeck]

ed = executable('demo_proj', 'app.d', dependencies: 
required_deps, install : true)


As I mentioned earlier cblas.d is installed in 
/usr/local/include/d/cblas/cblas/cblas.d
