The fix is to specify the prebuilt .lib file on the command line:

     dmd driver.d %cd%\libs\libfoo\libfoo.lib
```

The tutorial is for 32 bit so it uses OPTLINK.  I'm using 64 bits 
so it uses Microsoft's link.exe  When I try

dmd -m64 -v driver.d 
-L=/LIBPATH:"c:\dev\LibraryStudy\StaticLibrary\libfoobar"

I get this monstrosity

link.exe /NOLOGO "driver.obj"   /DEFAULTLIB:phobos64 
/LIBPATH:"c:\dev\LibraryStudy\StaticLibrary\libfoobar" /OPT:NOICF 
  /LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.27.29110\lib\x64" 
legacy_stdio_definitions.lib /LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.18362.0\ucrt\x64" 
/LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows 
Kits\10\lib\10.0.18362.0\um\x64"

which I think would work except for the fact the path argument 
looses its double quotes.

Is there a fix?

I tried invoking link.exe directly with the ""s added manually, 
but then link.exe complains that phobos64.lib can't be found.

If it doesn't say so on the wiki (haven't read), could you update 
it with your findings? Thanks!

I'm sorry. The correction was for my first post, not the 
tutorial. If the tutorial was written for 64 bits I wouldn't be 
having this problem :)
