I have clean DMD 2.074 installation and some old visuald version. I open visuald project in VS2015-Ent, compile and... lot of bugs due to lack of packages:
Error: module completion is in file 'vsi\completion.d' which cannot be read
Error: module windef is in file 'sdk\win32\windef.d' which cannot be read
Error: module commctrl is in file 'sdk\win32\commctrl.d' which cannot be read
If you distribute product in sources, it's a MUST to describe what additional packages should be in system (better with original URL where you get 'em).
PS
I cannot use precompiled binaries, since author already compromised himself distributing infected DLL.

What???
The official releases for Windows are signed and not infected.
There was an issue with VisualD being FALSELY detected, but that was an issue on the side of the Antivirus company.

The release binaries contain everything . Nice run make..

Unfortunately, I already had infected visuald.exe and don't want my bad experience repeat, whatever you try to convince me.
In any case, it's not bad idea to compile myself; why not?

I talk about SOURCES. If I download sources and compile, they SHOULD compile. If they don't, author should specify what dependencies have to be installed.
BTW: I don't think there is an infected Visual D installer anywhere on the official download page https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases
If you think there is a not-falsely reported infected version please report the link.

It was long time ago, maybe 2-3 years. But it doesn't eliminate the fact of infection. Anyway I don't see any reason to discuss viruses, while REAL REQUEST was about COMPILATION. Rainer, sources are useless if they are not compillable. If you have time/wish, please update "build from sources" page, so people can follow instruction and build add-in w/o any stupid issues. Sources itself is fine, we just need missed packages.
