I have successfully made funtions and structs in shared libraries in linux with dmd, but i have no idea how to do that with classes, and how call the static this() funtion of the linked module, because variables ( even immutable ) are not correctly set without calling it.

Thanks.

If you search the main D list, you should be able to find several discussions on share libraries. But they aren't really supported yet. I don't know what the details are, but there are some issues (at it looks like you found some) which make them not quite work yet. Walter is currently working on the 64-bit port of dmd on Linux. I'm not sure whether he's going to work on the Windows 64-bit after that, or if he's working on the shared library issue next, but if he's working on the Windows 64-bit port next, he'll be working on the shared libraries right after that. So, it's in the queue and a high priority for Walter at this point, but it hasn't been done yet.
