For reference I'm pretty sure _deh_beg is related to exception handling. Hey, for some reason I missed this: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/ji93fh$15ph$1...@digitalmars.com The fix is to add main() function to D library. Don't know why it is needed for static lib but it sure helps to resolve link issues. Strangely I just got similar link errors (phobos64.lib ... unresolved ...) building dynamic lib on Win11 (no errors on Win10, or with ldc). I found this thread and adding main() saved me. Any expert can explain why and when main() is needed for dynamic, or static lib?

I went with readline. Left/right arrows work, but up arrow

Hmm... the add_history(), or maybe it's rl_add_history(),
function seems to have been in ancient readline versions but at
some point all line history code was taken out to be its own
library.

Arch Linux drags in both readline.so and history.so in its
readline package. No one notices!
Trying import gnu.history; fails since there's no distinct
'history' package (yet) and Dub doesn't drag it in along with
readline.
D can call C and link to anything in /usr/lib easily. Done. It
works! How does D know to link to the libhistory.so library? I
didn't say "history" anywhere. But it works.
extern (C) {
void add_history(const char*);
}
I'm tempted to make a history package and submit it to DUB.
Maybe. After dinner...
