 |

| Quote: | [pragma]
link
...
Example 2:
// This app needs the a DB library and TCP library to be used.
version(build) { pragma(link, EuDB, TCP4Win); }
|
That part of the documentation seems to imply that either build or dmd somehow know where to find the library you're trying to link in. But how does it know this? Is there some recommended way to either tell it where to find librares, or where specific ones are located? Or is there a specific location I should be keeping my libs? I'm unclear on this. |

I think build parses sc.ini and dmd.conf and perhaps paths included on the build command line.
At any rate, the pragma(link,...) comand is not working for me. I ended up having to manually add the libraries to the command line on linux before symbols were found.

Oh, heh, silly me. I just noticed this page which explains the LIB environment variable, sc.ini, and dmd.conf. Having used D as long as I have, you'd think I would have actually read that stuff by now  . I guess I just add the paths to any libs onto the LIB environment variable either in autoexec or sc.ini on Windows, or in dmd.conf in Linux. |

Yeah... I typically add the paths of important libraries to sc.ini and dmd.conf. It sure saves typing on the command line when building projects. I also add the the import search paths there too with the -I option.

That's right. Build uses the info in sc.ini/dmd.conf, and the command line to work out the library paths.

Huh? The link pragma is not working? What's the problem?

Ahh!! forget that one. It works great. I obviously had setup my files wrong. Build was not being called with the correct file.
Sorry for the scare.
