Thanks for your interest in building Visual D. Please check the instructions in https://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/BuildFromSource.html (especially build project "build" first). Please also get submodules of the git repository.

apham, have you managed to build visualD? It seems like you did not specifically follow the outlined steps. I'm gonna close this as WORKSFORME, but please reopen if you have any other information.
