I'm trying to create a Windows DLL as described in the tutorial at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dll.html. I got the basic example working fine, but if I try to get more complicated, it doesn't work. Specifically, I'm trying to link another static library into my DLL (the project is called canto): dmd -ofcanto.dll -L/IMPLIB canto.d dllmain.d canto.def IddParserD.lib Based on the example given, this seems like it should work, but when I run it, neither the .dll nor its implementation lib is created (even though DMD reports no errors). A canto.obj was generated and I tried to use optlink directly, but again no .dll was created. Additionally, if I leave the .lib off the DMD command line, DMD reports link errors (as it should) but then somehow builds a .dll and ATA.lib anyway (I don't know why it's not naming the implementation library correctly). (Naturally, these are not useful for anything.) How am I supposed to do what I'm trying to do?
