Does DMD also use GCC conventions on Linux when compiling extern(C++) code? I didn't know that.

Not exactly sure that you mean by conventions but extern(C++) and extern(C) follows the ABI of the system compiler. On Linux that is GCC, on OS X it's Clang/GCC, on Windows it's either DMC or VS depending on what object format is used, I guess. DMC is not even available for any other platform than Windows. -- /Jacob Carlborg

Thanks. Can't get to linux machine now, but you can try place -L-lstdc++ after source files.

Thanks. I don't know why that's happening, but you can explicitly link using gcc (or ld/gold directly) if you need to. E.g. dmd -c myFile.d gcc myFile.o -lphobos2 or whatever is necessary on your project/system.

Then play around with the link line to see if you can figure out a way to link it correctly. We can work on fixing the situation from there. Maybe there's a way to link using dmd, maybe we have to fix dmd so it allows the correct link call. -Steve

I just tried this now for funsies: dmd -c *.d g++ main.o [client files] -lphobos2 With or without that -lphobos2 flag, I get errors like these: main.d(.text._Dmain+0x18e): undefined reference to `D3std5stdio16__T7writeln(TAyaZ7writeFAyaZv'

I compiled a regular C++ program with the -v flag, found where my libstdc++.a was, added it to the command and bam. I really should have thought of this one earlier... Thanks for the quick support, everyone!
