I am going to give another try to Dexed to see if I can make it 
work.

Normally, I want the IDE to compile the software just for when I 
am developing to test if what I am coding works. It's not used to 
build the final product. Else, I need to use an external builder, 
go into command line mode and build/run the project. It's just 
more convenient from the IDE.

Apparently there is a plugin for Geany that supports the D 
language, I am also going to give a try:
