So I've got a tiny program.

C:\Users\me\klondike>ldc2 -c klondike

The import of the library symbols are successful. The .obj file is created.

08/21/2019  06:39 PM           475,609 klondike.obj

But when I try linking, I get errors.

C:\Users\me\klondike>ldc2 klondike
lld-link: error: undefined symbol: _D8colorize7winterm16WinTermEmulation10initializeMFNbNiZv
>>> referenced by klondike.obj:(_D8colorize6cwrite__TQkTAyaZQrFS3std5stdio4FileQxZv)

Is there a way to specify my test.lib in the command?

Typically, either supply the library file as a command line argument and let LDC handle it, or use the `-L` option to supply the appropriate flags directly to the linker. —David

Sorry to be dense here, but shouldn't the command below work?

C:\Users\me\tiny>ldc2 tiny.d test.lib
lld-link: error: test.lib: unknown file type
Error: linking with LLD failed

How much clearer can this be?

I've googled for the answer but I either get these huge dissertations on compiler/linkers or just a repeat of the ldc2 -help

You probably specified an incompatible .lib (e.g., 32-bit lib for 64-bit LDC target). The LLD error message is minimalistic.
