I works just fine on Windows, but I am having difficulty figuring 
out what the trouble is on my Bodhi 1.4 Virtual Box. I've 
followed the instruction on the Codeblocks Wiki and set the 
parameters, but when I try to compile, it complains that it can't 
find Phobos.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lphobos2

I've checked the search directories and the library directories 
are where it says they would be. I am not particularly familiar 
with Linux so I am not sure how to proceed from here.

Any advice?

dmd's -v flag may give some clues:

   $ dmd foo.d -v

dmd outputs the config file that it uses and the linker flags that it 
passes.

additionally if not using dmd it may have the libraries named 
differently.
a quick google says Bodhi linux is based on Ubuntu which doesn't 
ship dmd due to licensing issues AFAIK.

Your advice worked, thanks. It turns out that from the command 
line it compiles and links just fine.

Codeblocks is the thing that is giving me trouble. It might have 
something to do that I am using the old Codeblocks 8.0 version. I 
would like to get the newest version but the Virtual Box OS is 
outdated and the package manager won't let me get anything newer.

I downloaded the Codeblocks 13 tar manually and unpacked it, but 
Gdebi can't resolve the missing dependencies (even though they 
are right there in the directory.) It worked fine for Dmd.

Any advice for this?
