I don't have anything fancy. I add a Makefile for each project with some
standard Makefile rule-names, and bind these to some function keys.
Most of the rules are just `dub run`, `dub build` etc.

I like doing it this way as I can easily have as complex build rules as
I want, and I can also build from the cli.

interesting. i'm still a noob so for my projects a trivial
invocation of dub or (r)dmd is enough. i hacked together this:


function! DBuildToolSelect(file)


      let dir = fnamemodify(a:file, ':p:h')

      while 1
          if filereadable(dir . "/dub.json")
              let &l:makeprg = "dub build --root='" . dir . "'"
              return
          endif

          if dir == '/'
              let &l:makeprg = "rdmd --build-only '" . a:file . "'"
              return
          endif

          let dir = fnamemodify(dir, ':h')
      endwhile
endfunction

autocmd FileType d call DBuildToolSelect("%")


errorformat could be improved and i didn't test it much but so
far it seems to work.

I found that neovim show me all errors of two D little projects 
that I was updating to use DUB. I think that it's launching dub 
build on background and getting the output to show the errors.
