Hi,

I'm having some problems with "pragma(lib,..)". I have a 1 module D program, main.d, to test a socket connection. It imports std.socket, whcih used to work just fine, without the need to provide a lib. With DMD 0.149 however (don't know when this issue was introduced) it won't find the winsock imports:

 D:\llunesu>dmd main
 C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe main,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
 OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1
 Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989 - 2001  All Rights Reserved

 C:\dmd\bin\..\lib\phobos.lib(socket)
  Error 42: Symbol Undefined _getprotobyname@4
<and many more>

When I provide the lib name on the command line it works fine:

 D:\llunesu>dmd main WSOCK32.LIB
 C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe main,,,WSOCK32.LIB+user32+kernel32/noi;

But when I specifiy pragma(lib,"WSOCK32.LIB") (which works just fine in other projects) I get:

 D:\llunesu>dmd main
 C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe main,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
 OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1

Any idea?

Are you putting the pragma in main.d, or just in an imported module that doesn't get compiled?

Use build? :-)

??? I get the same linker output if I use build. Futhermore, I have to manually delete main.obj after each try, since "Files are up to date, no build required." (eventhough the previous builds had linker errors).

OPTLINK is still creating an .exe, apparently..

In main.d, right after the imports. I only import std.stdio and std.socket..

Try using Build again but with ...

version(build) pragma(link, "wsock32.lib");

and use the -full switch to force a full recompile.
