In fact it works without the "-L". Which makes me wonder if I was using
it wrongly?
I'm convinced that putting a space between "-L" and its argument is
nonsense. The "-L" part just means "pass the empty string to the
linker", which doesn't do anything. And the argument is interpreted by
dmd then, not by the linker.
What exactly are trying to pass to the linker?
A lib: GtkD.
That means a .lib file, right?
dmd knows how to handle .lib files [1], so it's no surprise that things
work when you pass the .lib file to dmd.
The GtkD docs say to use -L though [2], so I suppose that should work
too. Maybe show your exact complete command line, if you want to find
out why it doesn't work for you.
