Description basile-z 2020-05-12 17:50:03 UTC 
example:

> dmd/declaration.d(796): Error: undefined identifier `o`

but when you have dmd dub.sdl loaded in an IDE the IDE will try to solve relative path from "src" hance the error messages wont be clickable.
I believe this is caused by the fact that the build script is located in src/
and not in the repo root.

added support for this in dexed [1]. I close because this problem existed even before build.d.
