Hi,
If I remember correctly on linux (ubuntu) you can compile an executable which uses and DRuntime as shared objects.

How is the ldc2 command for this?
I assume I can find the shared objects for phobos and DRuntime in the ldc2 linux x86_64 release archive?

Is there also an additional argument to strip any non used symbols?

Kind regards
Andre

Should read ...which uses Phobos and DRuntime as shared...

I found it:

ldc2 app.d -defaultlib=druntime-ldc-shared,phobos2-ldc-shared -debuglib=druntime-ldc-debug-shared,phobos2-ldc-debug-shared

`-link-defaultlib-shared` implies that and takes care of rpath as well.

Thanks a lot. Is it also easily possible to compile an
application with DRuntime statically linked and completely
without Phobos?

Kind regards

Sure, that's `-defaultlib=druntime-ldc`.

If you want to make more compression, then do it with UPX. The complete order of make extremelly compression are: strip.exe. UPX.
...
Using upx should be sufficient to reduce (compress) size of executable file.
Download and extract upx.
Select the files you want to compress.
Click Start compression
