Include import paths in build ID. ...

Otherwise the same package with a different set of dependencies (or dependency versions) may get the same build ID, leading to linker errors.

Improve cross-compilation support (replace `version` checks by BuildPlatform runtime checks) ...

Also fixes #1249. For LDC as implicit cross compiler, the file
extensions for libraries and object files etc. don't depend on the
compiler, but solely on the target. Targets selected with `--arch` are
correctly probed by dub, so that the parsed `BuildPlatform` represents
the target platform.

Support separate linking with ldc2 ...

This is basically #1548 with an augmented set of compiler flags being
included in the linking command lines.

Use std.digest instead of the deprecated std.digest.digest.

Perform the tool chain checks based on the compiler name. ...

Gets rid of the additional methods in the Compiler interface and moves the checks to a more central location, since other generators apart from BuildGenerator might want to perform the checks in the future. Also keeps the API "package" for now to avoid adding insufficiently though-out public APIs.

Change toolchainRequirements fields to Dependency. ...

Also removes some API clutter from Compiler and PackageRecipe.

Use shortened object file names in single-file build mode.

Selectively import crc32Of from std.digest.crc

Rename Path to NativePath. ...

Matches the changes done in vibe.d 0.8.x and vibe-core.

Make the code base compatible with vibe-core. ...

This still generates lots of deprecation warnings, but successfully compiles with vibe-core, as well as with the old vibe-d:core package.

Use shortened object file names in single-file build mode. ...

The full path was repeated twice in the object file path, resulting in excessively long paths (and failures on Windows). This change uses just the module name part (i.e. just the file *name* of the D file) and combines the path part as a single crc32 value (e.g. "somemod_0a56fb23.o").

Avoid passing linker files to a static library build command line. Fixes #1235.

Add unit test for shrinkPath.

Prefer absolute paths in build generator if shorter than the relative one. ...

This pushes the boundaries a bit more on Windows with its short default path length limit, especially in CI settings where the dub package cache is often in a completely different directory hierarchy than the main code that is being compiled.

temp-build: Fix colon in folder path

spelling fixes

Fix bogus rebuild of packages with no dependencies. Fixes #1091. ...

Packages without dependencies don't have a dub.selections.json file. Previously the absence of this file was deemed to be a sign that the build output is not up to date, thus always unconditionally rebuilding such a package even if nothing changed.

Avoid any linker specific compiler command line options for syntaxOnly builds. ...

This fixes an apparent regression, where the documentation build fails with "Unrecognized extension", because a "." file name is specified on the compiler command line. The "." is supposed to be the path to the target binary of a dependency, but in syntaxOnly mode, there are no binaries at all.

fix build differences between dmd and path/to/dmd ...

- in particular uses -L--no-as-needed on linux

Link against the intermediate binary files of dependencies. Fixes #921. ...

This change causes the build generator to pass the path to the intermediate build directory (e.g. ".dub/build/*/libfoo.a") instead of the final target path. The major consequence is that temporary builds with dependencies now work (they won't copy the intermediate binary to the final target path).

Fix typo.

Don't copy the target executable to the package directory for single-file packages.
