A build setup for D projects using Xmake, a Lua-based tool that compiles code and links it into programs or libraries. It supports the DMD, LDC and GDC D compilers and packages from DUB, D’s package manager.

Use it to create D executables, static libraries or shared libraries, add DUB packages, choose a D compiler and set compiler options.

It gives D projects one build configuration instead of requiring separate commands for each compiler or dependency. Dependencies that are brought in indirectly still need to be listed manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00050	$0.00732
Opus 5	$0.00025	$0.00366
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00146

Security

Grade A, and why

xmake-dlang scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Building D (dlang) with Xmake

D has three main compilers (DMD, LDC, GDC); xmake drives all of them through a unified target() API and supports DUB for package dependencies.

1. Minimal project

xmake create -l dlang -t console hello
cd hello
xmake run

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")

target("hello")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.d")

2. Target kinds

target("app")       set_kind("binary")
target("mylib")     set_kind("static")
target("mydyn")     set_kind("shared")

3. DUB dependencies (v2.3.6+)

add_requires("dub::vibe-d ~>0.9.5")
add_requires("dub::libasync")

target("app")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.d")
    add_packages("dub::vibe-d", "dub::libasync")

Known limitation: cascading transitive deps must be declared manually for now. Add every dep in the tree explicitly.

4. Compiler selection

xmake f --toolchain=dlang                    # DMD (default)
xmake f --toolchain=ldc
xmake f --toolchain=gdc

Or pin paths:

xmake f --toolchain=ldc --sdk=/opt/ldc-1.30

LDC is usually the best choice for release builds (LLVM backend, best optimization). DMD is fastest to compile with.

5. Flags

target("app")
    add_files("src/*.d")
    add_dcflags("-O", "-release")          -- passed to the D compiler
    add_ldflags("-Wl,--as-needed")

add_dcflags = D compiler flags. Each compiler has its own flag dialect — prefer portable ones or gate with if is_toolchain("ldc") then ... end.

6. Mixing D with C

target("app")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/main.d", "src/extern.c")    -- mix C and D in one target
    add_includedirs("include")

D can call C directly via extern (C) declarations on the D side. No bridging needed.

Pitfalls

Transitive DUB deps. You must add them manually until xmake's DUB integration is complete.
Compiler-specific flags leaking across toolchains. add_dcflags("-mattr=+avx2") works on LDC, fails on DMD. Gate with is_toolchain.
D shared libraries on Windows. DMD and LDC produce different import-library formats; stick to one per project on Windows.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

xmake-dlang is a skill published in the GitHub repository xmake-io/xmake-skills (24 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 732 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
