I tried really hard but I'm not able to find a link in the menu that leads to the following page: http://dlang.org/dll-linux.html

Is that intentional? In my opinion this is a pretty central topic which should appear in the sub-menu "D Reference".

Kind Regards

Oh, that needs some overhaul, but I don't think we should release it before we have the high-level wrapper.

Why do we need a high-level wrapper? Whats wrong with doing a library on a level similar to phobos? Afaik we don't have any other page describing how to compile a library into a .so on linux or how to link against the shared version of phobos.

(P.S. didn't you get my mails?)

Because it means the support if finished and stable, unlike the Window DLL documentation which tells people what internal runtime functions to use to make an incomplete DLL support work a little.
