I think you can use any standard library utility. But I like Burtons digc for its simplicity, e. g. c:\dmd\bin\digc -Ic:\dmd\src\phobos -Ic:\d -lib=venus *.d No need to maintain a makefile on adding modules... -- Helmut Leitner leitner hls.via.at Graz, Austria www.hls-software.com

digc allows this if you add "-lib=name" to the command-line. Its process is: - Search code for import statements and include and expand libraries as necessary. - Execute "dmd -c FILES" - Execute "lib -p32 -c LIBRARY_NAME OBJECT_FILES" - Append import information to the library file. I can look up the formats involved with this if you're planning on incorporating digc functionality into DIDE. - If -install is provided in the command-line, move the file to the dmd/lib directory. If you're building a dll, it's more involved, although you just need to add "-shared" to the digc command-line. It involves scanning object files for export symbols and generating def files.

Ok great I'll use digc for creating libraries, in fact I'm thinking I'll use it for every compilation option is alright that I bundle dig with dide ?- Append import information to the library file. I can look up the formats involved with this if you're planning on incorporating digc functionality into DIDE.
Yea I'd like to make a library and dll project option. Charles "Burton Radons" <loth users.sourceforge.net> wrote in message news:bg507a$qbp$1 digitaldaemon.com...Charles Sanders wrote:Sorry couldnt find any info on how to do this, How do i create a library file for linking with D programs ?

It's public domain; you can do whatever you want with it. I am explicitly fine with it, yeah.

Hmm Im having a little trouble creating a library file, given the file
foo.d : class Foo { this() {} }
digc -lib=foo foo.d
Im getting :
Error: file 'foo.lib' not found
I am also having trouble creating libraries with straight lib.exe which I
just realized, does it depenend on some envrionmental variables or something
(lib.exe i mean) ? , sc.ini looks correct.

digc allows this if you add "-lib=name" to the command-line. Its
process is:
- Search code for import statements and include and expand libraries as
necessary.
- Execute "dmd -c FILES"
- Execute "lib -p32 -c LIBRARY_NAME OBJECT_FILES"
- Append import information to the library file. I can look up the
formats involved with this if you're planning on incorporating digc
functionality into DIDE.
- If -install is provided in the command-line, move the file to the
dmd/lib directory.
If you're building a dll, it's more involved, although you just need to
add "-shared" to the digc command-line. It involves scanning object
files for export symbols and generating def files.

In Windows type: lib -c a.lib b.obj c.obj d.obj ... to create a library dmd a.d b.obj c.lib ... to use it See http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/lib.html for documentation and more examples.
