digitalmars.D - Build Problem

Does anyone know how to tell build (the compiling helper program) to look in a
specific directory for the .lib files? I get sick of putting them in the root.

Thanks for the help in advance... :)

I add "-LIBPATH=.\Libraries"

and I get this...

OPTLINK : Warning 9: Unknown Option : NOIIBPATH
OPTLINK : Error 8: Illegal Filename

OK, I got it now...

I just do this instead..

pragma (lib, "Libraries\\DevIL.lib");

Thanks though. :)

I've read the other response about -LIBPATH. That switch was added to Build
only in the latest release, v2.08. 

So if you are using v2.08 then use the -LIBPATH=... switch. If you are
using an earlier version (I suggest you upgrade) you can use the
pragma(link, "path\\libname") approach.

To tell which version you are using type "build -info" on the command line.

Can it also be added to the dmd sc.ini file?
eg.

LIB="% P%\..\lib";\dm\lib;<here>
