If you are using the D unittests in your source you can recompile the 
same source with `d_unittest: true`, the appstream-generator project 
does this: 
https://github.com/ximion/appstream-generator/blob/master/src/asgen/meson.build#L108

Or you can keep the tests separate and compile these test separately 
like you are doing in your C project. I use this option in the GlibD 
project:
