I dont know how to create a shared library using dmd or
build(http://dsource.org/projects/build).

I try to compile the D source files to .o, and link them:



I get som errors:
...ld: Test.so: undefined versioned symbol name _d_throw 4
...ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Other questions:
1.
How to link a shared library in dmd? I have a shared library, named libtest.so.
In gcc, I can do this:

In dmd, I don't know how to do that.

2.
On linux, where do I place the gc code? Like DllMain, See
"http://digitalmars.com/d/dll.html".

DMD can not create shared libraries on linux yet, but GDC can.

On linux, DMD uses GCC as its linker so you'd just do something like... dmd file.d -L-ltest If I remember correctly. Or dmd -c file.d gcc file.o -o file -ltest

Thanks, it is right. I will try gdc to create shared library.

Try adding the -fPIC flag, like so: gcc -o libTest.so -shared -fPIC *.o -lphobos don't forget that libraries need to be named libMyLibName.so for the linker to find them. (Note the "lib" in the beginning of the file name) /Anders

Thanks. I try to use gdc, but I get some errors. /*** CODE ***/ test.d: extern(C){ export void test(){} } so.c: static void _init(void) __attribute__((constructor)); static void _fini(void) __attribute__((destructor)); void gc_init(); void gc_term(); void _minit(); void _moduleCtor(); void _moduleUnitTests(); void _init(void){ gc_init(); _minit(); _moduleCtor(); _moduleUnitTests(); } void _fini(void){ gc_term(); } /*** CODE END ***/ Compile: gcc -c so.c gdc -oTest.so so.o test.d -fPIC -shared It passed. But when load it, some errors happend: undefined symbol: _minit

I try to write a ruby extension. In ruby, excute "require 'Test'", 'Test.so' will be loaded and function 'Init_Test' will be called.
