NAME

       dub-generate - Generates project files using the specified generator

SYNOPSIS

       dub generate <generator> [<package>[@<version-spec>]] OPTIONS...

DESCRIPTION

       Generates project files using one of the supported generators:

       visuald - VisualD project files

       sublimetext - SublimeText project file

       cmake - CMake build scripts

       build - Builds the package directly

       An optional package name can be given to generate a different package than the root/CWD package.

OPTIONS

       -b, --build=VALUE
           Specifies  the  type  of  build  to  perform.  Note that setting the DFLAGS environment variable will
           override the build type with custom flags.  Possible names:
             debug, plain, release, release-debug, release-nobounds, unittest, profile, profile-gc, docs,  ddox,
           cov, cov-ctfe, unittest-cov, unittest-cov-ctfe, syntax and custom types

       -c, --config=VALUE
           Builds the specified configuration. Configurations can be defined in dub.json

       --override-config=VALUE
           Uses  the specified configuration for a certain dependency. Can be specified multiple times.  Format:
           --override-config=<dependency>/<config>

       --compiler=VALUE
           Specifies the compiler binary to use (can be a path).  Arbitrary pre- and suffixes to the identifiers
           below are recognized (e.g. ldc2 or dmd-2.063) and matched to the proper compiler type:
             dmd, gdc, ldc, gdmd, ldmd

       -a, --arch=VALUE
           Force a different architecture (e.g. x86 or x86_64)

       -d, --debug=VALUE
           Define the specified `debug` version identifier when building - can be used multiple times

       --d-version=VALUE
           Define the specified `version` identifier when building - can be used multiple times.  Use sparingly,
           with great power comes great responsibility! For commonly used or combined versions and versions that
           dependees should be able to use, create configurations in your package.

       --nodeps
           Do not resolve missing dependencies before building

       --build-mode=VALUE
           Specifies the way the compiler and linker are invoked. Valid values:
             separate (default), allAtOnce, singleFile

       --single
           Treats the package name as a filename. The file must contain a package recipe comment.

       --force-remove
           Deprecated option that does nothing.

       --filter-versions
           [Experimental] Filter version identifiers and  debug  version  identifiers  to  improve  build  cache
           efficiency.

       --combined
           Tries to build the whole project in a single compiler run.

       --print-builds
           Prints the list of available build types

       --print-configs
           Prints the list of available configurations

       --print-platform
           Prints the identifiers for the current build platform as used for the build fields in dub.json

       --parallel
           Runs multiple compiler instances in parallel, if possible.

   COMMON OPTIONS
       See dub(1)

EXIT STATUS

       1      usage errors, unknown command line flags

       2      package not found, package failed to load, miscellaneous error
