Hi,
    Now I need get the .a file on Linux,target system is ARM.
    If you use gcc ,you will use the 'ar' to get .a file,
but how to do by GDC ?
And how to  get the execute file by .a file and .d file?

Thank you.

I couldn't have understood your question very well, but some 
information is here.

You create .a static library file with "-lib" flag while 
compiling. Yesterday I did it.

dmd mylib.d -lib

This will generate mylib.a.

You can later use this static library while compiling another d 
code.

dmd main.d mylib.a

Pass the .a file directly as it is another source.

I have never tried these with GDC, but I don't think it is much 
different at all.

Now I will target file to ARM linux,and dmd can't get the file 
for ARM.

Just use ar on the generated object files the same way you would 
if you were using gcc.
