I just successfully built dmd, druntime, and phobos from the git tree. Later I tried using this command to build a simple D program, and failed: ~/Digital-Mars/dmd/src/dmd -I~/Digital-Mars/druntime/import -I~/DigitalMars/phobos -L-L~/Digital-Mars/phobos/generated/linux/release/32/lib/libphobos2.a test.d The error is: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status --- errorlevel 1 Yet it's obvious that libphobos2.a is in ~/Digital-Mars/phobos/generated/linux/release/32. But if I didn't use the linker flag, and instead put libphobos2.a in /usr/lib, that command would work. So how to use specify the linker flag correctly?

I think the -L option should only be used to specify a directory in which to search for libraries, while you put the full path to the library there. DMD already knows it should look for a file named libphobos2.a, so try -L-L~/Digital-Mars/phobos/generated/linux/release/32/lib Lars

Andre Tampubolon <andre lc.vlsm.org> Sorry, there was a typo. The actuall full path is: ~/Digital-Mars/phobos/generated/linux/release/32/libphobos2.a So I changed to command into: ~/Digital-Mars/dmd/src/dmd -I~/Digital-Mars/druntime/import -I~/Digital-Mars/phobos -L-L~/Digital-Mars/phobos/generated/linux/release/32 test.d And the same error still happens On 12/27/2011 10:08 PM, Lars T.

Maybe you are through with this, as your more recent message might suggest. A few more statements from ld would be nice. And be sure dmd is compiling a 32 bit binary (you likely built a 32bit binary so probably not the case).

Yes, I already figured it out. I have to specify the full path manually, like this: -L-L/home/anta40/Digital-Mars/dmd-dev/lib64 Previously I used -L-L~/Digital-Mars/dmd-dev/lib64 and this didn't work.
