Note that in the docs I linked it's `dmd hello.d -L+gtkd.lib`
with a plus sign. I'm not sure if it's significant, but it's a
difference.
There are two ways in the doc you linked:
dmd hello.d -L+gtkd.lib
or
dmd hello.d -Lgtkd.lib -m64
The second doesn't uses "+" but it has "-m64". Anyway even the
example with "+" it doesn't working here either.
Also, and this may be it, the link.exe that's distributed with
dmd doesn't like forward slashes as path separators. You can
try it with backslashes instead:
dmd test.d -LC:\gtkd\src\build\GtkD.lib
I had tried that before, without any success.
-L doesn't take a space, either. Putting a space there isn't
even optional, it's wrong. The stuff after the space is not
passed to the linker, it's interpreted by dmd.
In fact I already had understood what happened after your first
answer, which "-L" with space wasn't been "evaluated" because DMD
was reading a flag without arguments. So I could omit it there,
but like I said, many examples out there uses:
"-Lpath/to/whatever", and then you see many topics about people
complaining about this.
