Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Asterisk expansion is a shell feature. dmd probably doesn't go
through a shell when running ld.
Even if it did, no expansion would be done there, because the
word is looked at as a whole. With the leading "-L", the
pattern doesn't match an actual path. For example, compare
`echo /*` with `echo -L/*`.
You have to spell the different paths out.
Thanks a lot! I replaced "*" with the name of my OS and it all
works!
I thought that if it could replace $HOME, it ought to replace the
asterisk.
Probably I should add this caveat to
http://wiki.dlang.org/Starting_as_a_Contributor#Running_Independent_Programs for future reference.
