"Try DlangIDE" very long building time and unsuccessful every time.

[BoQsc]

I tried to try dlangide, but it seems to be unsuccessful in all the computers that I have. https://github.com/buggins/dlangide#try-dlangide

What I tried to do:

dub fetch dlangide
dub run --build=release dlangide

https://github.com/buggins/dlangide#try-dlangide

This is the output:

C:\Users\Juozas\Desktop>dub fetch dlangide

Please note that you need to use `dub run <pkgname>` or add it to dependencies of your package to actually use/run it. dub does not do actual installation of packages outside of its own ecosystem.

Is this still the case? I will try later today.

The errors seem to come from som mixin.

Error: module std.ascii

FYI, I just did

git clone https://github.com/buggins/dlangide.git
dub build

And everything worked.

dmd version is v2.105.2
dub version is 1.34.0

I shall probably add workflows to ensure the thing builds at least...
