digitalmars.D.learn - dub build to generate different kinds of libs

Hello

Im brand new to D (loving it btw!) and have decided to build a 
largish windows project in the language. First question, is there 
a dub.json setup to have a dub build to generate multiple 
binaries in one call? Like a dll and a static lib. Seems like it 
would be easy maybe im missing something obvious? Like a 
configuration with multiple targetTypes.

Thanks

https://github.com/dlang/dub/wiki/Cookbook#creating-a-library-package-that-also-comes-with-an-executable

But it didnt result in creating both a dll or exe and a .lib

Yes, just do that (make multiple configurations)

You just have to build them separately:

dub build --config=library
dub build --config=application

Thanks Steve!, ya i know i can call build twice but i was 
wondering if there was any config magic for dub to make it output 
multiple library types in one call to build

As far as I remember if you set the targetType of the main 
package to none it build all the sub packages in one call. 
Therefore you have 2 sub packages instead of 2 configurations.

But I have to say I have never done it myself, but just saw the 
pr which should implement this behavior.

Kind regards
