digitalmars.D - Linker problem

I have:

\dmd
   \bin
   \lib
     phobos.lib
   \src

and my sc.ini in \dmd\bin looks like so:

LIB=\dmd\lib;\dm\lib
DFLAGS="-I\dmd\src\phobos" "-I\dmd\src\druntime\import"
LINKCMD=% P%\link.exe

Obviously, I'm running on Windoze (never had these problems on Linux :( 
).  Any ideas?

I have this too, and I'm using 2.030. It works fine with v1.045.

Check that phobos.lib is really there in \dmd\lib. You could also try 
copying it to your current directory.

That's the first thing I checked.

That appears to have no effect, even when I put phobos.lib on the build 
line.

Next, grep the phobos.lib for the undefined symbol.

The DMD zip switched to using dmd\windows\bin and dmd\windows\lib  
recently, so if you simply extracted over-top of the old install, that  
might be your problem. Also, this should probably have been posted on  
D.learn.

I explicitly copied Windows\bin and \lib over \dmd\bin and \lib, so that 
isn't the problem.  Have you used 2.029 and verified that it works 
correctly?

If you installed this over top of a previous install, try just
unzipping into a clean directory.  I remember mysterious linker errors
when upgrading DMD2 from pre-2.020 that disappeared when I used a
clean install.

This appears to work, but it's disturbing that the existence of legacy 
files affects the link.

Did you try manually replacing phobos lib file? That code works for my 
2.030 so try that instead of 2.029.
