Also why have most objects an unique postfix in the name but

Symbols which end in __ModuleInfoZ are symbols that hold
per-module information for features like unittests and module
constructors.
Symbols which end in __initZ hold information on types,
specifically their default initialization state.
So if these two are missing, and they should be there, you have
a problem.
It's a library - if any symbol is missing it will be a problem ;-)
Now wrt. LNK4255, I'm not sure why its doing this. You haven't
shown how you're building. But if you're doing it manually you
may want to try:
-od=<directory> write object & library files to directory
-of=<filename> name output file to filename
-op preserve source path for output files
Doing it via dub, manually would be the `-lib` switch I guess.
Thanks! it works well with the `-op` switch, didn't know I can do
with libraries. Only drawback is that every path now stored as
absolute path - any way to store only a relative one?
