Good day all,

I've installed Gtk+ and GtkD on my MacBookPro which is running 
macOS Mojave but am having some issues linking to and using it. 
Any assistance to resolve this is appreciated.

Steps taken:

1. Install Gtk+

       brew install gtk+

2. Build and install GtkD-3.8.5

      unzip GtkD-3.8.5.zip
      copy gtkd folder to dmd/osx/src/
      make
      copy libgtkd-3.a to dmd/osx/lib/

3. Update dmd.conf

      add -I% P%/../../src/gtkd to DFLAGS

Problems encountered:

1. Unable to find the lib

(dmd-2.085.0)BMP:model edwarac$ dmd -de -w -Llibgtkd-3.a nufsaid
ld: file not found: libgtkd-3.a
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to 
see invocation)
Error: linker exited with status 1

Not sure why I'm receiving this first error since the file is 
stored alongside the libphobos2.a which the linker doesn't have 
any issues locating. If copy the file to the local directory, 
linking completes without any further errors.

2. Unable to find libgtkd-3.dylib

      (dmd-2.085.0)Andrews-MBP:model edwarac$ ./nufsaid
      object.Exception generated/gtkd/gtkd/Loader.d(125): Library 
load failed (libgdk-3.0.dylib): dlopen(libgdk-3.0.dylib, 258): 
image not found

Not sure what's going on here at all. This file was not created 
when I built GtkD. Where do I find it, or how do I create it?

 dmd -de -w -Llibgtkd-3.a nufsaid

try
dmd -de -w -lgtkd-3 nufsaid
or
dmd -de -w -L/path/to/lib nufsaid

 dlopen(libgdk-3.0.dylib, 258): image not found

it that a typo? gdk not gtk?

Regardless gtkD is bindings to gtk which are separate, make sure 
you have gtk installed and in your path.

No. That did not work.

 dmd -de -w -L/path/to/lib nufsaid

This would is already included in dlang.conf no? Yes furnishing 
an explicit path works.
dmd -de -w -L/Users/edwarac/dlang/dmd-2.085.0/osx/lib/libgtkd-3.a 
nufsaid

But why do I need to do that if it's sitting right next to phobos 
and DMD is already searching that directory for libraries?

 dlopen(libgdk-3.0.dylib, 258): image not found

No. This i correct.

gtk was the first think I installed, no issues there. I have 
found a solution to this. brew install gdk+3 does the trick.

Thank you.

That because of the way the dmd and the linker interpret the arguments.

-L tell dmd to pass the command that follows to the linker.
To tell the linker to link with a library in a known location you would 
use the -l flag.

For the value passed to -l the linker will prefix `lib` and postfix 
`.so` `.a`.

So the following should work properly:
`dmd -de -w -L-lgtkd-3 nufsaid'

Thank you very much Mike. Works like a charm. Also found out that 
pragma(lib, "gtlkd-3") does the trick as well.
