digitalmars.D.learn - Native PDB Error

reply Begah <mathieu.roux222 gmail.com> writes:
I have recently reinstalled a fresh version of Windows 10. I 
installed DMD 1.9.0 and compiled my code ( that was compiling 
before reinstalling Windows ).
I get this error at the linking phase :
Native PDB Error: The entry already exists.  The specified module 
already exists

I made a simplified project that gets the same error :

import imageformats;
import derelict.glfw3;

void main() {
     IFImage i0;
}

and dub.json :
"dependencies": {
	"derelict-glfw3": "4.0.0-beta.1",
	"imageformats": "~>7.0.0"
}

Compiling for 32-bit works.
Compiling for 64-bit gives that error : dub --arch=x86_64
Changing imageformats version to 5.2.0 compiles but any higher 
doesn't.
I tried compiling the code with and without admin privileges but 
it doesn't do anything.
I know that PDB is used for debugging but I don't understand this 
error.
Any ideas?

What?

That is definitely not a valid dmd version for D2.

for others who come across this (because this is what you find if 
you google this error):

I haven't found any solution or reason yet, but you can compile 
in release mode (--build=release for dub) to work around this 
issue

This works fine on my home Win10 machine, dmd 2.082/2.083 + dub 
1.11.0, installed using the executable from the downloads page. 
However I've had this same issue on my work PC for which I'll 
have to double-check my setup tomorrow.

Reproduced the issue on my work machine with dmd 2.082, dub 
1.9.0/1.11.0, so it seems to be a dmd issue. The only difference 
is that my work machine is using mingw libraries rather than 
Microsoft build tools.

Bump. Encountering the same issue. Just reinstalled Windows and 
having the same error on
DMD32 D Compiler v2.083.1 .

OK, fixed it. Since it's the first hit from Google, here's a 
solution:

https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikedev/comments/8s5x5n/roguelikedev_does_the_complete_roguelike_tutorial/e11p66q/

"What I did to fix it was install Visual Studio 2017 Community, 
then go into the VS installer and add both the "Desktop 
Development With C++" and "Game Development With C++" workloads. 
It is not enough to just install Visual Studio, and the C++ Build 
Tools do not have the sufficient .lib files to build the game."

The Game development pack is probably unnecessary, since it's 
DirectX and stuff, but I installed it just to be safe.
