sometimes pragma("lib", ...) very usefull (if i understand you
correctly)

What if I want to include a 3rd party library? It is also easy, just pass the list of its d source files to the compiler as well. Quite trivial, really.

What if I want to include a 3rd party library? Surely before dub existed, people were incorporating other libraries in their projects. I want to learn how this works from first principles. I've been working with dynamic/interpreted languages for too long, I forgot what it's like to build native programs without a dependency manager. Any help would be appreciated! It's like C++. If you use Linux then: ``` dmd -L/path/to/lib -llibrarynamewithoutlibprefix ``` or example ``` dmd myapp.d -L../otherproject/lib -lcool ``` line above compiles `myapp.d` file and links it with library `libcool` that is place in directory `../otherproject/lib` You will need an extra `-L` to pass things to the linker with dmd. ``` dmd myapp.d -L-L../otherproject/lib -L-lcool ``` -- Mike Wey

So if I may make a guess, when you include a dependency in a dub project, what it ends up doing is compiling the dependency separately into a lib file then statically link the lib with your project?
