Hello !

I want to use a C library lib*.a that has been compiled with gcc
 I have 3 D-modules that declare all the functions in
the library like this :

version(Linux) {

extern(C):

}

..List of data types and functions ....

How do I compile and link if I want to make use of the library ?

regards, oliver

As usual with C/C++

1) compile your library.
2) Link it in your D project using command line parameters or
3) use pragma(lib) in D source code:

pragma(lib, "imageio.lib");

Example:
http://www.terrainformatica.com/harmonia/imageio.d.zip
( DecodeImage using standard libPNG and libJPEG in D )

Does it work on LINUX too?

First of all:
Do not compile the modules with the C-declarations!

There are basically two possibilities:

dmd yourapp.d ... -L-lyourlib

This will call gcc automagically, and link with libyourlib.a, (the
dots are your other object files)

or

dmd -c yourapp.d
gcc -o yourapp yourapp.o ... -lphobos -lyourlib

kind regards,

Lukas

I did the following :dmd -d boing.d -L-lglfw

But I should have done it this way :

dmd -d boing.d -L-lglfw -L-lglib -L-lglut -L-lXxf86vm

Because the other libs are required by glfw !?

That took quite some time - 

THX for all the answers
