ldc has libs in lib/mingw
Ok I was doing too much:
I uninstalled the whole sdk and it turned out It works
miraculously just by itself:
`ldc2 win32_app.d -L/subsystem:windows` as simple of that, very
cool!
And with the more complicated project, I think it also worked,
but the error was just generated by static libraries I'm using:
libwebp.lib
turbojpeg-static.lib
Inside these binaries I found hundreds of this text:
/DEFAULTLIB:"LIBCMT"
And the linker says this error as well:
lld-link: error: could not open 'libcmt.lib': no such file or
directory
lld-link: error: could not open 'LIBCMT.lib': no such file or
directory
Error: linking with LLD failed
There is no libcmt.lib on my HDD at all. There was
ntuc_libcmt.lib in the windows SDK, but I uninstalled that so the
mingW can be active.
(Btw, these are the stuff that is turning people backwards from
systems programming and turn them right into a browser's
comfortable console. But not me: I spend 1 or 2 days on this
every year, lol. Even I hate this 1980s style command line hell,
I know this worth the struggle. :D)
