Dear,

As 99% of d project use dub as build and package manager. I would 
like to know how to use D libraries and D software shared to all 
user on linux architecture ?

When I run:

  dub fetch <package name>

A .dub directory is created into $HOME. I tried to provide 
another directory with --root parameter but that do not work.

Currently I do not see how to build and install various D 
software at my works (HPC environment).

To be able to use D in this environment I need to be able to set 
at least:
- BUILD_DIR directory to perform build stage
- DESTDIR directory to tell where the root "start", it is useful 
for staged build such as rpm do
- PREFIX directory which will contains bin, include, lib(64), 
share directories
- use installed D library by reading env var LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, 
CPATH


Any highlight is welcome

Thanks

dub doesn't do platform specific installing.
It just handles building. What you want is out of scope and has been 
discussed.

Ok but as all D projects can be built only with dub, How can we 
do ?
should I to create and maintain a makefile or others for each D 
projects ?

Thanks

Not all, and it should be pretty straight forward to do yourself.

No.
Build with the preferred build manager, package/install as required by 
your platform like you would do for any other language.
