NAME

       dub-generate - Generates project files using the specified generator

SYNOPSIS

       dub generate <generator> [<package>[@<version-spec>]] OPTIONS...

DESCRIPTION

       Generates project files using one of the supported generators:

       visuald - VisualD project files

       sublimetext - SublimeText project file

       cmake - CMake build scripts

       build - Builds the package directly

       An  optional  package  name can be given to generate a different package than the root/CWD
       package.

OPTIONS

       -b, --build=VALUE
           Specifies the type of build to perform.  Note  that  setting  the  DFLAGS  environment
           variable will override the build type with custom flags.  Possible names:
             debug,  plain, release, release-debug, release-nobounds, unittest, profile, profile-
           gc, docs, ddox, cov, cov-ctfe,  unittest-cov,  unittest-cov-ctfe,  syntax  and  custom
           types

       -c, --config=VALUE
           Builds the specified configuration. Configurations can be defined in dub.json

       --override-config=VALUE
           Uses  the  specified configuration for a certain dependency. Can be specified multiple
           times.  Format: --override-config=<dependency>/<config>

       --compiler=VALUE
           Specifies the compiler binary to use (can be a path).  Arbitrary pre- and suffixes  to
           the  identifiers  below  are  recognized  (e.g.  ldc2 or dmd-2.063) and matched to the
           proper compiler type:
             dmd, gdc, ldc, gdmd, ldmd

       -a, --arch=VALUE
           Force a different architecture (e.g. x86 or x86_64)

       -d, --debug=VALUE
           Define the specified `debug` version identifier when building - can be  used  multiple
           times

       --d-version=VALUE
           Define  the specified `version` identifier when building - can be used multiple times.
           Use sparingly, with great power comes  great  responsibility!  For  commonly  used  or
           combined  versions  and  versions  that  dependees  should  be  able  to  use,  create
           configurations in your package.

       --nodeps
           Do not resolve missing dependencies before building

       --build-mode=VALUE
           Specifies the way the compiler and linker are invoked. Valid values:
             separate (default), allAtOnce, singleFile

       --single
           Treats the package name as a filename. The file must contain a package recipe comment.

       --force-remove
           Deprecated option that does nothing.

       --filter-versions
           [Experimental] Filter version identifiers and debug  version  identifiers  to  improve
           build cache efficiency.

       --combined
           Tries to build the whole project in a single compiler run.

       --print-builds
           Prints the list of available build types

       --print-configs
           Prints the list of available configurations

       --print-platform
           Prints  the identifiers for the current build platform as used for the build fields in
           dub.json

       --parallel
           Runs multiple compiler instances in parallel, if possible.

   COMMON OPTIONS
