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.
