Need much, much better instructions about english

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm not sure if any macOS user has tried to run the tour locally, until now. Nevertheless, I think it's import for everyone to have a smooth user experience!
The problem is that your system's native compiler (clang), which is used for linking, can't find the openssl libraries on your machine.

The error message is on the bottom of the logs:

Linking...
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib'
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib'
ld: library not found for -lssl
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Error: linker exited with status 1
uncaught exception
object.Exception@source/dub/compilers/compiler.d(116): /Library/D/dmd/bin/dmd failed with exit code 1.

I think no one on the team that developed the project is a Mac user, so perhaps you are in a good position to help us with the docs, as you have probably better knowledge of the typical workflow of installing packages on macOS.

The core project's page lists the system dependencies for a Debian/Ubuntu like system: https://github.com/dlang-tour/core#compile--run

The main deps necessary for the tour itself (which is written in vibe.d) are libssl-dev and libevent-dev. The examples themselves require a few things more, as listed on the link above. But for now, @lewisl can you try installing these to libraries and share if that fixes the problem for you?

Thanks. I installed openssl with homebrew. The binary is in ***@***.***/bin The lib is in ***@***.***/lib The ***@***.*** dir is a symlink to a homebrew “cellar”. So, how do I tell clang where to really look and to look for the latest version rather than an out of date version (1.1)? I’ll check what the homebrew forum suggests, but there must be some environment variable for clang. Paths can’t fix searching for a different version. Thanks again. I’ve been using the sandbox tutorial and occasionally copying finished code to a local location. Sort of OK, but I’d rather have the real experience using my editor of choice.
