Now I try it, and it is not required to build shared variant
of druntime and phobos, only rebuild it with -fPIC
In the end you'll probably need a shared druntime & phobos:
Let's say
your main app doesn't use std.datetime and you statically link
libphobos. Then the linker might strip std.datetime from your
executable. If your shared library now needs std.datetime it
won't
work.
I'm using C++ main app that dynamically loads shared libs at
runtime, but I cannot load D shared libs because they cannot be
linked to the non-fPIC built phobos2/druntime lib. It seems that
the only way to get things working is to re-build the C++ code so
that it is linked with non-fPIC phobos2, but this is not
something I want to be doing.
So if I read this right, I can build phobos/druntime with -fPIC
from the source code and it will work OK? If so, then why was
this not done with the latest distrubution package, or is this
only possible after a certain version number?
