Hi all,

I've got a problem with linking two object files on Windows with an
external *.lib file. First one is compiled C code, second one is in D.
I'm using D2.

  $ dmc -c first.c -I path/to/SDL/include
  $ dmd -c second.d

First two commands create two *.obj file. After running

  $ dmd first.obj second.obj path/to/SDL.lib -ofout.exe

no "out.exe" file is created but the command returns 0. An "out.map"
file is created, though. Where am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Make sure there's a D main function define somewhere.  With SDL you're 
probably supposed to link with SDLmain.lib.

Thanks for the reply.

There is int main(string[] args) function in second.d. I tried linking
in both combinations, with SDLmain.lib only and with both SDL.lib and
SDLmain.lib - results are the same, unfortunately.

I also tried linking with SDL.dll instead of SDL.lib, but dmd exited
with a message "unrecognized file extension dll".

The Derelict project has D bindings for SDL, and seems to be a popular 
choice.

Other than that, maybe out.exe is a special file name for the linker, or 
something.  You could try another name, just in case.

Thanks for the suggestion. Using a different library does not answer my
question though. Why does the linker return 0, no error/warning
messages are displayed and still there's no executable?

 Other than that, maybe out.exe is a special file name for the linker, or 
 something.  You could try another name, just in case.

Thanks for the idea, I've tried various names for the output file.
Unfortunately it did not help.
