Hi, sorry I was away from D for some time now and hadn't been 
notified of your post.
seems you installed too much similar packages. when using it, I 
just installed ide-dlang, atom-ide-ui and build and nothing more. 
then I modified the build-provider file, but as I was saying in 
my last post, the author of ide-dlang did updated his package, so 
you shouldn't have to modify this file now..

sorry, don't have time right now to install on this computer to 
verify how it's working. by the way there's now a 1.17.1 version 
of ide-dlang. maybe you should clean your setup and try again 
with just the minimum packages.
also note that the author set it as "unmaintained" now on github. 
so if it still doesn't work for you and you're not attached to 
Atom, maybe you could look on the VSCode side. the dlang support 
seems better on it..
