Source file:

Dub:

I get the error:

(Undefined link to testlib)

I also try to add:
```
"libs": ["testlib"]
```

But then i get:
```

```

(Can't find -ltestlib)

What am I do wrong? How can I link my library with my app?

FYI, `static` has no meaning at module scope.

Did you compile `testlib.d` into a library? I only ask because you didn't show a command line for it.

Ok, I replaced abc to abc() string function;

Yes. My tree: - Root - libs - testlib.a - source - app.d - dub.json testlib.a was build also with DUB where targetType was "library";
