Hi,

A [previous 
post](https://forum.dlang.org/post/hxlhyalzqmzzzihdjdof forum.dlang.org) shows
how to link individual C flags with `-L`, but is there a convenient way of
linking lots of C flags? I've tried variations of

```
dmd `pkg-config --libs libR` `pkg-config --cflags libR`  main.d
dmd `pkg-config --cflags --libs libR`  main.d
dmd -L`pkg-config --cflags --libs libR`  main.d
...
```

for linking the R library C backend on Ubuntu Linux and it hasn't 
worked. I'm getting the usual unrecognized switch errors:

```
Error: unrecognized switch '-Wl,--export-dynamic'
Error: unrecognized switch '-fopenmp'
Error: unrecognized switch '-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions'
Error: unrecognized switch '-Wl,-z,relro'
Error: unrecognized switch '-lR'
...
```


If there is a method, it would be really useful to know if and 
how it changes for the LDC compiler and also for DUB.

Many thanks

try:

```bash
dmd "-L$(pkg-config --libs libR)" main.d
```

if that doesn't work there are some other tricks (with `sed` for 
example), but I think the above should work.

I pass many flags using dub.
Relevant line in my dub.json,
```
"name": "gparted",
	"dflags-ldc": 
["--gcc=cc","--vcolumns","--oq","--dip1000","--dip25","--safe-stack-layout","--boundscheck=on","--D","--g","--w","--de","--d-debug"]
```

Or just direct command,
```
ldc2 --gcc=cc --vcolumns --oq --dip1000 --dip25 
--safe-stack-layout --boundscheck=on --D --g --w --de --d-debug 
`find . -name \*.d -print`
```
