but I haven't been able to figure out if you can build multiple 
app.d files with it. Is it possible to use dub run command to 
build multiple executables in one shot?

Maybe the question is weird, because dub might not be the tool to 
do that sort of thing. In that case, I would appreciate pointers.

Thanks,

Hi Selim,

Yes it is supported. In dub.json you set targetType of your main 
dub package to none and add several sub packages (with targetType 
executable).

Kind regards

Thanks again for the fast reply, Andre! I used your answer as a 
guide and found about sub packages example in [1]. And used the 
command line example from stack overflow [2]: dub run 
mainPackageName:<subPackageName>. It got me what I wanted.
