It doesn't look like pragma(lib,name) does anything on Linux. I couldn't find any mention of the supplied lib that dmd echos in -v verbose mode.

For example try file test.d:
pragma(lib,"foo");
int main(){ return 0;}

dmd -v test.d

true - but one would expect dmd to support Linux and Windows at roughly the same level. I was posting more out of an expression of (small) disappointment and surprise than a formal bug report. If dmd doesn't support the standard pragmas then who will?

It will when I figure out how to embed library references in the ELF object file format.
