Hi,
Doing that in the terminal, I get the same message.
Just using 'dmd <D file>' works, though.
I understand why the `-o` is there, but not why `-f ` is there.
What I do now is just use Geany's F8 to compile, the
terminal to build, and Geany's F5 to execute. Of course,
I'd like to use Geany's F9 too.
When I use dmd manually in command line, without the `-o`
switch, it always produces a sane name, so you do think
changing this in Geany's `Set Includes and Arguments` could
help?

this switch specifies the name of the executable to be built.
For reference see
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-linux.html#switches.
I don't know why it isn't working for you, it should.
Try running
dmd -w "testing.d" -of "testing"
in the directory ~/Geany_Proj/testingD2 and check whether it results in
the same message.
The -of switch is there when linking the program (Build->Build or F9
key) to give the executable a sane name instead of something like
'a.out' or whatever the dmd might choose.
You can change/remove this in the Build->Set Includes and Arguments
dialog.
Regards,
Enrico
