I am trying out the windows version of D compiler and cant get it to work.
For example I am trying to compile the samples\winsamp.d and it gives me:
******************************************************************
C:\dmd\samples\d>dmd winsamp.d
c:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe winsamp,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1

winsamp.obj(winsamp)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _SelectObject@8
winsamp.obj(winsamp)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _SetTextAlign@8
winsamp.obj(winsamp)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _TextOutA@20
winsamp.obj(winsamp)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _CreateFontA@56
--- errorlevel 4
************************************************************************
I think this means that the linker didnt include the needed librarys. (I think
this is GDI32.LIB). So how do I tell the dmd to tell the linker to include the
GDI32.LIB ?
So how to I compile the winsamp.d?

Thank you!


Martin.

Ok, I finally found out.
its : C:\dmd\samples\d>dmd winsamp -L+GDI32
where -L+GDI32 tells, that GDI32.lib should be included.

Try this:

dmd winsamp.d gdi32.lib
