Greetings every one,

I desperatly searched net about how to compile a d2
program that uses dylib on mac os, but unfortunately no luck.

What I've been doing:

I have a C library compiled as (taken from http://developer.apple.com/):
gcc -dynamiclib -std=gnu99 Ratings.c -current_version 0.1
-compatibility_version 0.1 -
fvisibility=default -o libRatings.A.g
 --> so I have libRatings.A.dylib that my testapp will use.

I've converted Ratings.h header of the lib to Ratings.d file, all functions
enclosed in extern(C);

I created a test program: test_d_client.d

import Ratings;
import std.stdio;

void main() {
	writeln("Starting test");

	char[] value1 = "*".dup;
	addRating(value1.ptr);
	writeln("rating: %s", ratings());
}

And now, when I execute: dmd test_d_client.d I get following output:

Undefined symbols:
  "_addRating", referenced from:
      __Dmain in test_d_client.o
  "_ratings", referenced from:
      __Dmain in test_d_client.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1

What I am doing wrong here?

You need to tell the linker where your library is. You can just pass it to dmd
on the commandline.

Now when everything is within the same folder,
and I execute:
dmd test_d_client.d -L.

(so I'm telling to look for libs in current dir)
Response is now different:

ld: in ., can't map file, errno=22
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1

What else could be done here to resolve it?

Asuming your lib is named libRatings an is in the current directory, 
this should work:

dmd test_d_client.d -L-L. -L-lRatings
