Can't compile properly from source on Linux Mint Cinnamon

[esp13]

Hi,

I'm a total newbie so maybe I do something wrong.

I can't successfully compile from source I get this error when building :

sudo apt install dub
dub build -b release

Performing "release" build using /usr/bin/gdc for x86_64.
Build directory ../../.dub/packages/emsi_containers-0.9.0/emsi_containers/.dub/build/library-release-linux.posix-x86_64-gdc_2068-E53B02A4D0A6D2BC0039752B2E02A84F/ is not writable. Falling back to direct build in the system's temp folder.

lsb_release -a

I tried to install dmd from https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/downloads.dlang.org/releases/2021/dmd_2.098.1-0_amd64.deb but I just realize that it failed :

Maybe it comes from here

edit2 :

As asked I tried to remove dub and give an other try with dmd this worked.
Then I tried reinstall dub:

sudo apt install dub

edit3 :

As it was written on the doc, install dub if needed (but it already was with dmd) so let's compile again:

dub build -b release

edit4 :

libncursesw5-dev was missing, so :

sudo apt install libncursesw5-dev

And now it's compiling, thank you for your help :)

Could you please mention

• your distribution version? (maybe the output of lsb_release -a)
• how you installed a D compiler / Dub?

Thank you kindly for this feedback, it allowed improving the documentation:
