hi,
is possibile to compile .so for linux and for mac, with D? if true how i can do
that?
thanks

Use GDC maybe?

This isn't handled by a compiler, but the linker, ld. First,
you get the D compiler to generate an .o file. The "-c" option
accomplishes this in both the DMD and GDC compilers:


	gdc -c foo.d

Then, the "ld" command line is as follows:

	ld -shared foo.o -o foo.so

-- 
All your .signature are belong to us.
Take off every 'sig' for great justice.

Are you sure? Shouldn't the compiler generate position-independent code? 
(That's what I seem to remember and will assume for the rest of the 
code. It that's not true, please ignore the rest of this post :) )

 accomplishes this in both the DMD and GDC compilers:
 

 	gdc -c foo.d


This generates relocatable code, not position-independent code. For 
that, you need to specify -fpic or -fPIC (for GDC, DMD can't do this IIRC).


 Then, the "ld" command line is as follows:
 
 	ld -shared foo.o -o foo.so


This would be correct if foo.o contained position-independent code.
