way to set $(B LIB) would be:
)
$(CONSOLE
set LIB=$(DMDDIR)\lib;\dm\lib

$(P If the $(B dmd) command is used to both compile and link
to an executable, it will make certain optimizations that are
valid only for Windows executable files. Do not use the resulting
.obj files in a DLL.
To compile modules into .obj files that can be used in an exe or
DLL, compile with $(SWLINK -c) and $(SWLINK -shared).

$(P When an import declaration is processed in a D source file,
the compiler searches for the D source file corresponding to
the import, and processes that source file to extract the
information needed from it. Alternatively, the compiler can
instead look for a corresponding $(I D interface file).
A D interface file contains only what an import of the module
needs, rather than the whole implementation of that module.
)
$(P The advantages of using a D interface file for imports rather
than a D source file are:
)
$(UL
$(LI D interface files are often significantly smaller and much
faster to process than the corresponding D source file.)
$(LI They can be used to hide the source code, for example,
one can ship an object code library along with D interface files
rather than the complete source code.)
)
$(P D interface files can be created by the compiler from a
D source file by using the $(SWLINK -H) switch to the compiler.
D interface files have the $(B .di) file extension.
When the compiler resolves an import declaration, it first looks
for a $(B .di) D interface file, then it looks for a D source
file.
)
$(P D interface files bear some analogous similarities to C++
header files. But they are not required in the way that C++
header files are, and they are not part of the D language.
They are a feature of the compiler, and serve only as an optimization
of the build process.
)
$(H2 $(LNAME2 executable, Building Executables))
$(P $(B dmd) can build an executable much faster if as many of the
source files as possible are put on the command line.)
$(P Another advantage to putting multiple source files on the same
invocation of $(B dmd) is that $(B dmd) will be able to do some level
of cross-module optimizations, such as function inlining across modules.
)
$(P The $(D -i) flag can be used to automatically compile imported modules)
$(H2 $(LNAME2 library, Building Libraries))
$(P There are three ways to build a library. For example,
given $(D foo.d) and $(D bar.d) which are to be compiled, and existing
object file $(D abc.$(OBJEXT)) and existing library
$(D def.$(LIBEXT)) which are
all to be combined into a library $(D foo.$(LIBEXT)):)
$(OL
$(LI Compile modules separately and then run the librarian on them:
$(WINDOWS
$(CONSOLE
dmd -c foo.d
dmd -c bar.d
$(LIB) -c -p32 foo.lib foo.obj bar.obj abc.obj def.lib
del foo.obj bar.obj
)
)
$(UNIX
$(CONSOLE
dmd -c foo.d
dmd -c bar.d
rm -f foo.a
ar -r foo.a foo.o bar.o abc.o def.a
rm foo.o bar.o
)
)
This option is typical when using a makefile to avoid compiling
modules that have already been compiled.
)
$(LI Compile modules together and then run the librarian on them:
$(WINDOWS
$(CONSOLE
dmd -c foo.d bar.d
$(LIB) -c -p32 foo.lib foo.obj bar.obj abc.obj def.lib
del foo.obj bar.obj
)
)
$(UNIX
$(CONSOLE
dmd -c foo.d bar.d
rm -f foo.a
ar -r foo.a foo.o bar.o abc.o def.a
rm foo.o bar.o
)
)
)
$(LI Use $(B dmd) to compile and build library in one operation:
$(CONSOLE
dmd -lib foo.d bar.d abc.$(OBJEXT) def.$(LIBEXT)
)
No object files are written to disk, it's all done in memory.
Using $(SWLINK -lib) also has the advantage that modules may be compiled
into multiple object files rather than exactly one per module.
This improves granularity of the library without having to break
up the modules.
