My apologies, I thought this was the place to ask for help using 
VisualD.

VisualD builds the mixed project hello world just fine. I can run 
'dmd' from the command line, but I'm not really sure how to use 
it as I'm new to D.

The DUB generated VisualD project is an old format, and only 
contains vibe.d?

I added 15 import paths in my VisualD project for vibe.d. It 
started off complaining about missing import paths, so I added 
them until it compiled but failed to link. Then I couldn't figure 
out what to do.

What do you mean the distributions get corrupted? Is this common 
in the D ecosystem? Will my projects get corrupted randomly?

Sorry, I tried not to write an excessive amount since I was 
mostly just wanting to know how to link a D library in VisualD. 
All of the symbol names are vibe.d related, but when I build the 
vibe.d solution (two of the 19 projects fail), but I link to 
'vibed.lib' and it says that it is corrupted or invalid.

DUB doesn't generate mixed projects though?

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my query. I'm getting 
the impression that linking D libraries in VisualD isn't 
possible. Thanks anyway!
