How do I setup mono-D for creating shared libraries and including 
them into other projects? When I drag the .d files to create the 
library from, which is not my own, I get undefined references. I 
have the lib files, which are a bunch of separate libs, that I 
want to include into one big lib. Once that's done I want to 
include that lib into another project.

I'd rather not modify si.ini. Are there any tutorials for getting 
started with Mono-D? (setup, not coding)

Well you could go the route of dub, which configuration files can be 
loaded directly into it as a project.

 can be loaded directly into it as a project.

To create the library, what do I do?

'dub init myLib'

then delete app.d,

and then add all the library.d files?

Then what? Where do I tell it to find the .lib files without 
adding them to sc.ini?

Do I just mess with dub.json to and add all the proper build 
options to get both the lib and the dependent apps working or are 
there other steps I'm missing?

"targetType": "dynamicLibrary"
http://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=json#target-types

I would also recommend looking at sub packages.
http://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=json#sub-packages
That'll make things a lot easier. To have both an executable and a 
shared library built from the same project directory :)
